I'm going to give it some thought anyway. Some of the Enta resellers have announced new packages including an LLU one using Cable & Wireless LLU, sods law I can't get that on my exchange (it seems to be fairly limited in Devon & Cornwall for C&W LLU) and the speeds on Enta have seemed to get gradually slower for me off-peak (can't fault peak time, I can easily get about 650KB to 700KB/sec during the day!).
