If you are getting 12Mb from Sky you are probably not on FTTC , but ADSL , ( on FTTC you woukd be getting 50-70Mb ) so changing to a different ISP on ADSL will also provide 12Mb , and the stuff about freeing up a FTTC port was assuming you had Sky FTTC .0

Some providers may not offer ADSL , but some will , use a comparison site and look for providers offering ADSL , probably advertised as ‘upto 17Mb’ as that’s the average speed they are required to use in adverts,
A quick search found direct save telecom offering ADSL , I’m not recommending them , I know nothing about them , but they obviously still offer ADSL , I dare say others will also offer ADSL as well1
