MB,

Manchester and Hampshire
Manchester doesn't count as it's next best to London in terms of availability of whatever connectivity your heart desires. I suspect Hampshire might not be too bad off either, being affluent commuter belt territory.

I'm taking a more wait and see attitude.....I suspect there might be some skeletons awaiting to emerge from the closet..... theory vs practice and all that.

LLU providers have a difference from the BT offering thus:

1) Different DSLAMs in the exchange (differing manuf/cost/quality/firmware)
2) Different backhaul from the exchange to their network
You missed (at least) one.....

3) Different network policies (traffic shaping etc.) and product definitions (contention etc.)

I rest my case.
