PN use BT Wholesale's services - they are not listed, because they are not a LLU ISP (local loop unbundling/ISP with their own equipment in the telephone exchange)

As AndyH says, we won't show as we don't have our own equipment in the exchange. Many other ISPs also aren't listed due to them using BTWholesale too.
