There's a nice little racket on ebay.co.uk at the moment with someone

does not however tell people that the units won't easily work with
PPPoA connections as found in the UK.
fwiw, PPPoE should work in UK too, it's been in the relevant BT SIN
for a while now.
FWIW not all of us have BT as our ADSL line provider, I say line as
obviously the circuit and Internet connectivity aspects of an ADSL
service can be provided by different company's.
Also because many of you unfortunates DO have BT and they are rather
tardy in their replacement schedule for the older PPPoA DSLAM's the
statement whilst slightly generalised still holds true.
