ADSL deals for non-LLU exchanges?

Agram

Keep checking the broadband deals but it seem TalkTalk and Sky only honour them if the exchange has been unbundled.


TalkTalk have no alternative service for BT wholesale, while Sky offer Sky Connect that is meant to be atrocious for a higher price.


So it would be nice to see some other ADSL deals, beyond BT, that are available to every exchange.

Plenty of ISPs use BT backhaul. The one I use does, for example, but they don't do "deals", bundle TV channels or send out shopping vouchers.

Plusnet run on BT backhaul and fall into the "advertise on telly" category.

Everybody runs on the physical BT backhaul from the exchange itself whether they are LLU or a BT product.

LLU providers don't lay their own pipe to the exchange but lease part of the BT backhaul available from there and install their own DSLAMs in the exchange.

That is not necessarily true in all cases.

Vodafone, Virgin Media, SSE Telecom, Colt, Level 3, BT Wholesale and Openreach (both sell such products) and more run fibre across the country and provide such services to the LLU networks. Sky also have their own fibre in certain areas.
