Notes and data source information
Wanadoo began deploying an LLU network in late 2005 to offer 8Mbps ADSL ahead of BT Wholesale's IPStream Max launch in February 2006. Also in 2006, Wanadoo rebranded to Orange and joined the "free broadband" bandwagon. Unlike other providers though, they offer free broadband both on their LLU network and off it (where they use BT Wholesale IPStream services).

Sadly, Orange are the only provider not providing us with information about their LLU roll-out. Whilst this is understandable (because they do not differentiate services or pricing based upon LLU coverage), it hinders customers wishing to make an informed decision about which ISP to use. Note: The Orange date here is known to be out of date! Recent reports suggest there are ~430 Orange LLU exchanges.
