Cough - there is a wholesale service if I recall Exa is one option, so more business focussed but don't think it is anywhere as complex as the arrangements Openreach has to adhere to

Ah, perhaps I'll rephrase the statement then:

'Unlike BT, which is forced to over a wholesale service at prices that encourage competition, Gigaclear has the freedom to choose whether or not to offer a wholesale service and can price it however they like".

- any better?

I suspect that offering a wholesale service is a condition where they have bid for local government contracts.

I know, I am just giving my view, on how I consider the deal been offered.
