Not really the same though, we have many options that ride on top of the BT OpenReach network so most urban places get many cheap options for internet. If you want fibre to the home then Virgin Media is still your main option which is a little annoying.
- rayiner 4y agoBut what are your options for fiber to the home? It seems to me like whether you have FTTP available to me depends on whether BT decides to build fiber to your house. Yeah, telephone loop unbundling adds some additional competition for the actual internet transit portion. But when people say “like a utility” I think they are thinking about something like sewer/water utilities in the US, where a municipal entity builds and runs the infrastructure with taxes.
- simonbarker87 4y agoThe FTTP roll out is slow for sure but it’s getting there. OpenReach have a lot of funding from the government to do it but it’s wrapped up in complicated requirements is my understanding. Unless you want to go with virgin media in which case you can usually get fttp with them - but only them.
