    Then you'll have to stay with Virgin-all ADSL services require a BT line.
    You have a very wide range of LLU providers on your exchange (8 that I can see) though.

    ... unless you use mobile broadband, just depends on your usage (but will more than likely be more expensive for you)

    I say this all the time like a broken record player.

    Read the OP - OP doesn't want to pay BT line rental - this would be payable with Titan....

    Yes, but he doesn't want Virgin either.
    So it's satellite broadband (don't you still need a BT line for the upload link for this?), mobile broadband, or nothing at all.
