I remember from experience that when one bought Sky Broadband on an LLU exchange but kept their line rental with BT, you would be connected to the old Easynet equiptment which meant a Globespan / Conexant ADSL chipset on the local exchange equiptment, but if you went Full LLU you would be connected to Broadcom equiptment in the exchange.
Does the same still count true, or do Sky now connect customers to Broadcom kit in the exchange even if you leave the line rental with BT?

Sky no longer do their BB w/out their phone.

Out of interest, why is that an issue? If you keep BT phone then you will almost certainly be limited to WBC based providers.

Or Partial LLU, e.g. O2, Be, AOL + some resellers.

I don't think any of the partial LLU companies are doing fibre - which I think the OP might have expected but didn't state.

Ah well, there was almost infinity (not Infinity) of things OP didn't state. I can only comment on them when he does so 
Even so, does LLU kit at exchange come into Fibre? I would thought it would be BT OR (or w) kit in that case.

Yes, in the GEA handover cable thing whatever its called. Connecting OR's equipment to either the LLU provider, or connecting OR's equipment to BTW's WBC network.

Not really wanting to labour the point, but can't see how the chipset of the LLU kit can be of interest, when the modem is talking to the OR kit under Fibre.
