I think PIPEX would be an excellent idea. The only reason I'm using BT broadband with Openworld is because I didn't do any homework to find out a cheaper option! Having said that, I've no complaints about the service from BT - great speeds, no problem connecting/disconnecting.
However, beware ----------- I use both my desktop and laptop with the BT connection. The laptop has no problems whatsoever but my desktop (a Gateway) often 'hangs' for 30 seconds or so, where nothing seems to happen. This happened just the same when I was using the internal 56K modem and I suspect it has all to do with the computer, not the BT connection! I've heard that other people have similar problems (although not as bad as yours seams to be) Make sure that, if you spend hard earned cash on new modems etc, the problem does not lie in software within the guts of your computer as it will be just the same afterwards! How do you check this? Sorry, I've no idea - but I'm sure someone here will have.
Best of luck
