Cant get Be or 02

So i decided i'm not signing up to Talk Talk's 18 month deal when they transfer me onto their network following the Tiscali takeover.
I opted for 02 or Be , Be was fully booked , 02 Pro package was available .
02 duly informed me to go back to BT for line rental , i've done that .
Now today i rung 02 to order Pro, i cant get it , its fully booked , all port slots full .
I cant even get 02 access , not that i would want that anyway .
I am now in the situation of having a 12 month landline/call package with BT.
My only choices for BB appear to be BT, perhaps someone has suggestions for another ISP , i would be looking for an unlimited GB download ,1.0 - 2.5MB upload speed package .
Its not about money , i will pay what it takes , i need quality and good customer services.
Cheers

How about Plusnet? If you've got LLU operators at your exchange you might be able to get the reduced price.
Plusnet has a good reputation for customer service and offers a solid broadband connection too. The availability checker here will tell you what prices are available - http://www.chooseisp.co.uk/broadband-providers/plusnet.asp
Plusnet Premium is up to 20Mb (not sure about upload - but it's ADSL2+ so should be similar to Be/O2). It is limited to 80GB a month though, but is totally unlimited between midnight and 8am if you can schedule large downloads then.
Most "unlimited" ISP's (excluding Be/O2, Sky Unlimited & Virgin 50Mb) would have their fair use policy set to anything between 50GB and 100GB anyway - so keep in mind if you're only looking for an 'unlimited' package, if your usage is more than 80GB you'll get throttled anyway (albeit avoid excess usage charges).
EDIT: Just looked at your exchange and you can get the reduced price on Plusnet. Plusnet Premium is therefore going to be £15.99/mth (with first 3 months @ £11.99/mth)0
