You should contact your ISP.

Hey Tasha! From what I know about it, the MAC address is different than your IP address. The MAC address is machine specific. So, I don't think that there is a list of MAC addresses for the UK.. You may want to clarify with your Dad, what exactly it is that he needs to fix it.. Like Ash said- I would contact your ISP.

The MAC address is on the modem, but you will still need to contact your ISP.

hmm, I thought the MAC address is on the network card inside your computer / laptop?

MAC addresses are also found for Virgin Media cable modems. It is how subscriber modems are found, and if someone got a list of valid ones they can easily get free internet service on the Virgin network with a hacked cable modem [although why someone would want to steal such a shoddy service I don't know...]
