Daft question??

Ok this might seem like a daft question to some of you but could anybody tell me which broadband service providers do not use openreach??

Virgin

Basically any providers not using telephone lines to provide xDSL.

Satellite/Wireless/Virgin... aswell as the smaller fiber ISPs like hyperoptic etc.

Virgin Media cable.
Gigaclear.
Possibly Hyperoptic.
Hull is only covered by KCom.
Sky and TalkTalk have a joint venture in York to do FTTP.

Then there are satellite services and a few Wireless broadband providers, six pages listed here. (That's not mobile broadband).

Ahh ok that makes sense, cheers.

Basically been on the phone to sky today to see about getting quicker broadband but was basically told that 1.5-2mbps was the best I could hope for, unless I looked at a provider that doesn't use openreach but wouldn't go into more detail for obvious reasons.

On another note I've looked into going with virgin before but they don't provide in my area so....

Any other options other than moving house??

Cheers. Yeah that pretty much backs up what he said.

If you post your exchange many of us can tell you what you can expect to a degree.

Hello

If you live in a development, you can see if Hyperoptic is an option by checking your postcode via our website hyperoptic.com. We install a dedicated fibre infrastructure so you can experience 20Mb, 100Mb or 1Gb speeds.

Good luck!
