Do different ISP's provide a 'better' connection in certain parts of the UK?

The quality of broadband depends more on how far you are from your
telephone exchange AFAIA rather than individual ISPs, although that
depends greatly on your definition of "ADSL quality." I'm assuming
you mean strength of signal etc.

There are only 2 suppliers of domestic fixed line telephone
connections in the UK, namely BT and Kingston Communications (which
serves Hull and parts of E Yorkshire).

All ISPs offering broadband services over ADSL use (and need to use)
BT connections with the exception of Karoo which uses Kingston
(Kingston is Karoo's parent).

So a 'better' connection does not depend on the local connection, but
may depend on contention at the exchange and the circuits (including
non-BT) circuits which make the onward connection to the ISP.

Hope this helps

The quality of the broadband depends on the quality of the network, not on
how far you are from the exchange.
