The way that service was provided is no longer available.
ADSL can now be delivered to a service provider through either IPStream where provider takes traffic as a series of ATM Centrals from BT onto a router/LNS/BRAS which terminates customer sessions and forwards them to the IP network. The Essentials took a pure IP feed, not ATM, as BT managed the router that is LNS/BRAS.
The other way is Datastream, a series of links, one from each enabled exchange to a provider's own ATM network to be delivered to a router/LNS/BRAS via provider's own network. Gives provider more control over network.
Obviously there's also LLU but that's certainly not used.
Neil, there's cheaper/similarly priced ADSL than this available at 512k by the way:
