Re: This is exactly WHY...
Well BT and OpenReach are technically separate now, and have been for three years.
The problem is, OpenReach inherited their network from BT (all the way back to when it was part of the Post Office), so they still have (almost) a monopoly on the wires across the country. It also seems they inherited some execs from BT as well, because their reaction to this monopoly is to use it to try and fuck over ever single competitor as much as possible.
It would be interesting to see if they're trying to raise prices for BT as well.
