Have I been unbundled?

According to Samknows, my exchange (wwsowt) has been unbundled by C&W / Bulldog as of yesterday...

As far as I can tell, C&W and or Bulldog don't provide broadband services directly, but Talktalk are the company you get taken to if you go to Bulldog's website.

I rang Talktalk last week, eager to sign up and finally get a better speed, but they knew nothing and could only sell me their [censored] service which piggy backs on my BT line.

Does anyone know what has happened to my exchange? Am I about to be able to get better broadband? Is C&W/Bulldog unbundling not for residential customers?

Any advice gratefully received.

TalkTalk bought the customers of Bulldog, not the network.

Thus C&W unbundling the exchange is nothing to do with TalkTalk.

If you want to go LLU, then one of the smaller LLU resellers who buy from C&W, or their own ISP Demon is the choice.

Ah, thank you thank you thank you, I can finally get off my BT line

There may be others but two ISPs which spring to mind who can provide LLU BB through C&W are Xilo and Vivaciti

Well I got excited for no reason. My exchange still says 31st May, and no one will offer me unbundled broadband, so I guess it's not been done yet.

Such a shame that I can't contact C&W/Bulldog to at least badger them!

According to Demon, C&W have LLU'd your exchange:

Put your telephone here and under the "pro" tab if you get "Pro 16 Home" then bob's yer uncle, you've hit the jackpot

And if it is not showing drop us a line and we can check manually.

The database has to be manually enabled for new exchanges which they forget to do. Helpful
