For rural customers it's all openreach anyway
Living in a rural area there is no other network that hits my village. We've now got fibre to the village, ever since the new cabinets appeared I've had intermittent connection issues. I'm happy with the 30MBps I get on broadband but the frustration of everything stopping for 2 or 3 minutes several times a day it getting too me. especially as my wife signed the contract BT sent us to renew 16 months ago and We've ended up on stupidly expensive tariff. I cant get an improved service by switching but at least I can get a crap service cheaper.
