The point is that whoever you go with if it uses phone cables then BT

However BT openreach and BR wholesale, are very different companies to
BT retail

All the rot is in retail and most of the quality and the profit is in
Openreach.


They are completely separate divisions and may yet become completely
separate companies. Indeed the only commonality is that all the finances
though accounted separately are grouped together in BTs final accounts
as a plc.

Likewise Plusnet is still a seperate division.

It may be owned by BT, but overall its actually operates like any other
ISP renting phone lines and copper from BT wholesale.

on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer
projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to
contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.
