The best location for Telcos in London is Telehouse, whilst Redbus etc is 
great for internet applications, Telehouse has better carrier availability.

Quite possible not at all, also you might not actually pay a higher price 
anyway. We are a wholesale provider dealing only with quantity purchase and 
offer the same price for both E1 and SIP connections. If you'd like to 
progress anything with us, drop our sales team a line at 
sales at magrathea-telecom.co.uk. We are based in Telehouse, and our UK mobile 
routes are pure TDM, direct only one switch away from the mobile networks 
themselves - no other VoIP provider can beat this for quality.
