It's being reported that UK ISP Bulldog is about to end the resale of broadband xDSL Datastream and LLU products. There's still no official confirmation, although the sales director of reseller Hi-Velocity, Anthony Bennett, states:

"I can confirm that with immediate effect Hi-Velocity are no longer selling any Datastream products on the Bulldog network. We will continue to support any users on Bulldog Datastream products and they will continue to receive their services for as long as they remain customers of Hi-Velocity.

I can also confirm that as of 1st October we will no longer be selling and Bulldog LLU ADSL products, once again all current subscribers will remain unaffected. We will continue to interconnect with Bulldog to provide our customers with LLU and IP Stream services of the highest possible quality.

We hope that in the future we will be in a position to offer LLU ADSL products again, either through Bulldog or another provider."

The past week also saw Bulldog end the sale of its flexible "PrimeTime" product range, which points to an ISP trying to tighten its control and improve profits by re-focusing on its core business as a direct provider.

UK-Bug notes that two other ISP's, Mailbox Internet and Fusion Media Network, will also be affected. Typically take this all with a pinch of salt until we get something official.
