Could try http://www.backblaze.com/UK-backup.html, really cheap and unlimited storage. Although it'll take you a good week solid (obviously this depends on your upload speed, but at 256kb it'll take you around 80-90 hours) to upload the lot.
As SSJ said, best solution is to buy another external drive.

I naffed the maths up in the last one, for 500GB on ADSL (which is 1Mbps, or 1.3Mbps on ADSL2+) it'd take roughly 55days solid

You're selling a hard drive, but to do that, you're buying a new one
