As a matter of interest - how did you find out that TalkTalk had "LLU'd" your exchange ?? You say Samknows is not always up to date but I'm not aware of another trustworthy source of that sort of info (certainly not TalkTalk sales!!)

Samknows are showing that Talktalk have been in my exchange since Dec last year BUT they are also showing my exchange as Market 1.

Macman said 'Look at the market classification for the exchange under the samknows LLU data. If it's a Market 2 exchange (which it should be) then you can get the Plusnet cheap rate, starting at £6.49 for the Plusnet Value tariff.'....that's why I said Samknows is not always right.

This is what it says:

LLU operator presence
AOL: Not available
O2 / Be: Not available
C&W: Not available
Digital Region: Not available
Edge Telecom: Not available
Entanet: Not available
KC (Kingston): Not available

TalkTalk (CPW): Enabled as of 02/12/2011

Ofcom Classification What is this?
Market 1
This exchange has BT Wholesale as the sole provider of broadband services.

Oh,OK, so the list has been edited but the classification not changed. Not sure if Samknows does that automatically or waits for OFCOM to actually announce the reclassification.
I know that in the past exchanges have had suppliers added which would appear to move them from one OFCOM status to another but the ISPs wouldn't change pricing until they got confirmation from OFCOM.

I thought you meant that TalkTalk LLU wasn't even showing as available.

I agree, I don't think it's upated by samknows unti OFCOM oficialy change the classification. No idea how often they do that.
