BT Infinity and TalkTalk

BT Infinity is coming to my area next year. I am currently with TalkTalk. Will/Can TalkTalk make use of this fibre optic network so I can get increased broadband speed?

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

I'm thinking of jumping back to BT if TalkTalk can't be improved.

    As far as I can see in my area they all use the same network back to the exchange. They sell different packages at different prices. Talktalk would be cheapest for me.
    I need much more than 40Gb a month for teenagers to use Iplayer so I would take an unlimited / 100Gb type package as some will charge if you download more than your contract.
    I only ever see Openreach vans so I suspect they also work for the other comamy instalation.

    BT Infinity is BT Retails name for Fibre to the Cab, TT and other providers are able to buy the wholsale service from the fibre cab and re-sell it under their own name....I think TT are one of the ISPs that do re-sell FTTC, so if thats who you want to use go onto their website

    Talk Talk are currently re-selling the fibre product. When BT is available in your area, Talk Talk will be too.
