You don't get connected quicker by using BT Openworld. I was connected
less than four days after ordering ADSL, and I wouldn't touch Openworld
with a barge pole. BT Ignite, the wholesale suppliers of ADSL
connectivity, have to install for all ISPs equally. Even if it did take
a bit longer, it would be worth it to avoid the crap service that BT
Internet/Openworld provide.

It is easy, it took about twenty minutes for my ADSL install, including
the tea and biccies. Wiring idsn't the issue, it's the cost of upgrading
the exchanges that is slowing the process down.
