aaisp use BT wholesale for VDSL. They get round the budgeting issue by charging a premium for a small usage cap. But even doing that they still suffer from BTw congestion issues from time to time and have had to resort to public blog posts to get BT to fix.

The isp's to look out for to avoid BT wholesale is probably either sky or O2 launching the service as they have large LLU networks, maybe even talktalk. If they use their own exchange backhaul for the service then can expect a higher usage budget per end user. For central leics I would say the only realistic one is sky, as O2 not LLU'd both exchanges and I think talktalk will budget much less per user than sky.
