Re: How does it work


[re: ian72] [link to this post]
 
Yep we do!
Only Sky and TT offer LLU from my exchange, so BT was the only option for fibre.

I think it was on this forum that someone said how much it costs another provider to give fibre in an area. A lot of money for what in effect is a bit of cable at the exchange, so may not be worth it in a small town.

You are still confused I think. BT wholesale provide the fibre. But, that does not mean you have to buy it from BT retail. Vivaciti and others resell those products.

I don't think so. At the moment only BT, Plusnet (BT) and John Lewis can provide at my exchange,that may change.
From what I understand TalkTalk who have LLU available at my exchange would need a data link cable to connect to their equipment. Open reach charge £2000 for this and so TT may decide it is not viable for them.

You obviously didn't look very hard, there are many ISPs that will supply a BT Wholesale FTTC service.

Looked where?

Lots of sites only list the biggest providers.

I am sure you are right but don't think we have that much choice in TA24.

Some searches return results but when you actually try them they can't provide fibre.

Uswitch lists TalkTalk for instance but not available here as yet. Some others are too expensive.

I do realise that the offers are just to draw you in and will rise after the first 12 months or so.

You do. Rather than use sites such as uswitch which only list ISPs that pay them the most try instead checking with the individual ISPs.

Oh I have done that as well, selecting from those listed on this site for example.

All done now so with BT for next 12 Months for better or worse which is what started this thread in the first place!
I am aware of how comparison sites work.
