"That's the price they charge CPs."

So is that the same thing as a "Return to Donor"? Sorry if these sound daft questions.

Conversion of Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) Metallic Path Facility (MPF) to a single Wholesale Access line.
£34.86 + VAT

that is the return to donor charge to a CP by Openreach.

Got you so far.
In that case any CP can get Openreach to do a "return to donor" = "Conversion of Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) Metallic Path Facility (MPF) to a single Wholesale Access line" and pass on the Openreach charge or not.
Currently then BT Retail don't pass on the charge.
It's just a case of your chosen provider knowing what to do and not just arranging a new line if you move from MPF back to BTw.
So far so good?

sounds about right. It's the equivalent of paying to have a new line put in but obviously cheaper as the line exists but is in someone else's control.

Thanks to all, much clearer now.
