    A&A also offer a SoHo package which gives you a better chance of of a more reliable connection(assuming that it's possible - there are caveats and conditions) but as said above it'll cost more than the run-of-th-mill SKY, TalkTalk, BT and Plusnet offerings and there's usually an up front charge as well.

    Have a snigger at this then

    BT Wholesale sells the service to ISPs and IPTV providers, who use it to provide ADSL services to customers over Openreach telephone lines. ... Datastream is the similar system where ISPs in the UK use BT equipment but use their own IP transport. BT Wholesale pays Openreach for access to the local loop and the exchange
