No room at the exchange?

Hi there guys,
Quick question about our broadband. I live in central London very close to an exchange and have had broadband at our flat for almost 10 years.
Recently started thinking about upgrading as we only get about 5mbit down and 700kbps up. I have called my ISP (Opal, formerly Nildram) who said that there is currently no space at the exchange for higher speeds. BE broadband told me the same.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any way to get faster speeds on my line?
Cheers,
Francis

The alternatives that spring to mind would be Virgin cable and BT Infinity.
