Don't say you weren't warned!!
Erm.. wrong. 21cn won't replace the last mile (the user's phone line), it only replaces the backend connection to the exchange. Any unbundled isp will be using it's own backend connection anyway, not bt's.

21cn won't make a blind bit of difference for most people.

Also, bear in mind that some bt lines can and do support speeds up to 24 meg.
