Does anyone have Orange Broadband?

No problem, you can ask for referrals, but only on the referrals board.
A Market 3 exchange is one with three or more LLU suppliers on it. Plusnet charge a lot more (£12.99) on Market 1&2 exchanges.

Sorry I'm not conversant with these abreviations. While I've got you here perhaps you could tell me in laymans language.
What is a LLU supplier.

Local Loop Unbundled: i.e. ISP's that have their own kit in the local exchange, use their own networks and so do not resell BT Wholesale services. Plusnet is a non-LLU provider (not surprising, since it's owned by BT).

Orange are going to transfer their broadband to BT at some point so this should make a big difference to the service.

That's interesting to hear. My Orange BB is now all up and running and so far i'm happy with it. Obviously it's a big drop from cable modem speeds, but i've always known the area i live in has a poor ADSL speed anyway - the average is around 6mb, but then that's fine for me.

If a move to BT will bump that up then that's great news.
