Again which country are you talking about? The majority of UK broadband is ADSL2+. There is cable in some areas but not all. In all areas with phone lines there are multiple providers giving around 20Mb/s. They all use the same phone lines because of local loop unbundling. In areas with fibre to the cabinet there are again multiple providers all using the same fibre. The only service in the UK that doesn't have local loop unbundling is cable.

"In all areas with phone lines there are multiple providers giving around 20Mb/s." I don't know about the rest of the UK but I don't think that is the case in Scotland - once you are any distance from a city or town the speeds can drop dramatically and that's not even in the Highlands or Islands. Certainly when we were looking at houses about a year ago there were quite upmarket new houses in Perthshire that had no broadband at all.
