It will be down to when BT offer it as a wholesale product, afaik. If IDNet have got plans to go LLU, I haven't heard about them yet - but, of course, there's no reason why I would. :)

I believe Simon said that it is when your exchange is connected to the BT 21st century network, which will be on different dates for individual users

Sam probably does, the schedules were published a while back by BT. I'm another three years off.  :'(

If there are any others out there who (like me) are a bit befuddled by all this, there is an overview here http://www.samknows.com/broadband/21cn_overview.php I didn't understand it all but it did help.  :) It does seem that at first it might make little difference.
