Living in the uk all my life and having switched adsl providers pretty much every 12 months for the past 10 years I can honestly say the above is utter nonsense. Yesterday bt wholesale can be a pain sometimes (the company that manages the lines and exchanges) but then they are bt; they've always been awful at this sort of thing. Ever since ISPs have been taking advantage of llu though things are much better, especially if you use a provider who has their gear in the local exchange already. I still find it strange that the U.S., which is such a bastion of the free market is so anti-free market In regard to internet ISPs.
