How? When most ISPs simply WILL NOT handle FTTP.


Sky, TalkTalk, Vodaphone, Zen, apparently all do

as well as some lesser-known ones. Plusnet did a trial a while back but no further news.

Openreach FTTP covers 3 million UK premises, which will hit 4.5 million by March 2021 and then they expect to cover 20m by the "mid€“ to late-2020s" so there'll be a bigger market share fairly soon.

At the time, Sky did not. Nor TalkTalk. Zen was more expensive. Plusnet didn't either - we used to have ADSL (appalling speed though it was) through them and would have just allowed it to be switched over. If they had done it..

On top of being less expensive, and would anyway have been our choice, BT also had a substantial cashback offer at the time.
