Not everyone who is on ADSL has to be connected through BT wholesale. There are some companies who are unbundling the Local Loop and are able to offer connections through their own networks. Bulldog being a prime example, and one who is having Cable and Wireless (rather ironically I think) spend millions of pounds investing in their network.
Admittedly, BT could be doing a lot more to encourage Local Loop Unbundling (I have heard some nasty stories of how unco-operative BT can be with this).
