>At least from a British perspective it's not really an option to "pick a home internet provider that they don’t hate." Just like Britain's other fake markets for gas and electricity it's just a single service with multiple alternative brandings you can choose between. Maybe there is some choice of your upstream provider but frankly it doesn't matter since the narrow pipe is between your home and the exchange.
I'm sitting in rural suffolk on 1GB fttp. More and more fiber is out there, in the 2025 target for 85% with fibre available is looking unlikely to me, but on the other hand I think it very likely they'll get high 70'% Staggeringly my in-laws farm in rural scotland is now going to have fttp by summer 2023.
The problem with municipal services is that it's fine for the big cities, but it is punitively expensive for the last 5% You might not care about that... but 5% is a big deal in an election!
- laurencerowe 4y agoNational services are fine too! The reason you have physical fibre in rural Suffolk is because of national broadband subsidies targeted at rural areas.
