About 18 months ago I asked BT to come and put cables in our garden for super fast broadband.

So my question is assuming I have fibre optic is there any other company I can go with or is its BTs cable.

Many thanks

    There are two types of "Fibre" broadband over the BT network, FTTC which comes down a normal phone line, and FTTP which has a fibreoptic cable to the house.

    With FTTC there are many ISPs you can use, with FTTP there are far fewer.

    Are you talking about and saying you currently have 100Gbps BT fibre to the premises?
