well, unless the telewest merger does something amazing, which tbh, will probably hold up upgrading further.

Doubt it.
London, IMHO is a far more lucrative business than Leicester, and that is no mark on Leicester either. ntl needed to upgrade their London network so they could compete with the extensive ADSL options in that area.
It may be the case that 5 years down the line they will upgrade Leicester, but ntl are also looking at other emerging technologies, which may provide services in the Leicester area that do not require significant dip ups
