Yes there is.

Thank you for your interest in ADSL broadband. This service is currently unavailable in your area; however your exchange would be suitable for our Exchange Activate approach, a collaborative solution created specifically for small or remote communities right across the UK.

Exchange Activate enables your local community to work together with BT to upgrade your exchange and help you get the most from this exciting technology.

Looks like it will be BB for everyone pretty soon:

In addition to making broadband available from exchanges serving 99.6 per cent of people by summer 2005, BT is aiming to have broadband dialtone available to most of its customers in the UK in five years time. Customers will be in control of their own services and will immediately be able to switch the line to broadband use themselves without requiring physical work at the exchange, whatever device they use to access the broadband network.

BT also today announced trials to test the technical and commercial issues associated with the possible deployment of fibre optic cable in the UK local access network. These limited trials are looking particularly at the economics associated with providing services to new build and greenfield site developments

I guess BT will be leaving NTL behind like Sky do already! :dozey:

I used to think I hated BT ...and then I joined NTL. Oh, and in between, I joined France Telecom. To be honest, I hate 'em all as much as each other. :rolleyes:
