FTTP - Cheapest still seems to be BT?

We have lived in our new build house for 3 years now and have Openreach FTTP. We are will BT as the ISP and have been since day 1. When I�ve looked at this previously, BT were by far the cheapest provider as we are not �on-net� for any other provider, so I assume this means Openreach Wholesale prices come into play.

We have the 330/50 service currently but I would love a more symmetrical service.

I checked out the price finder on this website and it lists a few other providers, but not BT. One of the other providers is Vodafone however when I try to confirm the coverage on their site it errors. I thought that Vodafone only offered their service in CityFibre areas, which we are not.

Does anyone know of an ISP that can provide service on the Openreach network that is either cheaper than BT or symmetrical?

If you have Openreach FTTP we should have listed the BT packages, and if its JUST Openreach FTTP and no copper services we should not be listing Vodafone. So curious to check things, email or private message the postcode concerned.

Openreach FTTP has no symmetric products.

Yep no copper services. All the of ISPs it came back with were FTTP providers (e.g. Vodafone Gigafast).

I am aware BT don�t offer symmetrical services

If I plug in the postcode you have supplied then I see what I expect i.e. lots of Openreach FTTP based services at the top. No sign of Vodafone Gigafast

There is a mistake in that ADSL2+ services are offered which is down to when we added the FTTP for this postcode, and that will fix tonight as have updated the premises in that area to FTTP only i.e. not even ADSL2+

This is what I see.

Are you using your postcode when you search. I think it very unlikely that all of those services would be available at the same postcode (and it appears MrS has already done a search for your postcode and is not getting the same results).


EDIT : If I type in my postcode and hit enter I get the same list as you. If I type the postcode and click on the search button then I get the correct list

EDIT2 : Actually it wasn't even that. The first time I search I get Virgin, UFO, etc. The second time I search I get the relevant options.

If you click the SEARCH button it works

BUT if on first page load you press ENTER on the keyboard it does not, oddly subsequent times it does work.

Have John looking into it and working on a solution.

Even hitting the search button it doesn't work first time for me. Tested on Windows 10 with IE11, Edge and Chrome.

OK so glad it wasn�t just me. I can see a filtered list now.

It does still seem that out of the few providers we have available to us, BT are the cheapest for a 330/50 package. 1Gbps is available according to Openreach but no one seems to offer a package for that either.

Openreach Gigabit pricing announced, but expecting retail in December/January
