is O2 LLU available to you ? samknows.com exchange checker lists your options.

Are your kids pirates ? Limewire, Bearshare, Kazaa, BitTorrent, eMule are all tools of the trade.

so you could go for O2, Be, Sky (if you have their sat TV), UKOnline etc. O2 probably cheapest. Use you own router if that's an issue ?

Problem with O2 is you can't have Fastpath, so your ping won't be optimum. You could go to BE Unlimited and get Fastpath. You may get Fastpath on C&W as well, 2 resellers are Vivaciti and Xilonet.

A non-interleaved service which will give faster ping times.

AS Rik says, Fastpath reduces latency which is important for gamers like yourself, reduces ping times and increases speed.
