Sounds like Tesco are in direct competition with TalkTalk when it comes to providing a full LLU service, although Tesco seem to require that the phone number be changed when the line is moved from BT.

Partial LLU with Tesco would probably be more expensive but one could keep the line with BT and thus retain one's phone number.

If the exchange is 21CN WBC enabled and Market 2 or 3 then I would see Plusnet as being a very attractive alternative since it would be in a "low cost area", available both on an annual contract or 30 day minimum term.

Orange would be another alternative for a 21CN adsl2+ service if one is in their �network area� but the line rental would have to be paid to Orange and it would be a 12 month contract. This might be particularly attractive if one is an orange mobile phone user.

However if cost is not an overriding factor then xilo/uno 21CN would certainly be my choice

Have you considered sky

If you order now ( you can specify install date to a later date)

£100 cashback via quidco
6 months half price

No throttling of p2p or anything. Totally unlimited.

Would be around £22 a month inc line rental and cheaper for first 6 months.
Call centres in Scotland Ireland and uk. 24/7 support too

I haven't actually.

It sounds a good deal what with the Quidco bonus & all - but it's probably fair to say I'd rather gnaw off my left leg than part-finance Rupert Murdoch & his henchmen.

I used to feel just like that.

I then moved into an area without freeview and got forced into sky tv by the fam...
I then got sky BB after being recommended on a different forum, had massive issues with a different ISP.
Then switched over to virgin and then back to sky as they persuaded me to take the broadband & phone & line rental with them by offering me it stupidly cheap and ALSO discounting the TV.

It worked out cheaper with broadband, line rental, calls and TV than just the TV was costing. Their stupidly cheap retentions have made me stay & the service is too good for me to consider a switch really.

Murdoch. Dislike... I also hate virgins hardware e.g. superhub. So catch 22.
