BT don't have a monopoly through their own actions, although no doubt it does benefit them. TT (and other ISPs) could offer FTTP if they wanted, but choose not to.

I believe there are a couple of ISPs apart from BT who offer FTTP, but none are what you would call big names.

Yes it is, because TT have chosen not to offer FTTP as a product, and neither have Sky. So they have created a near monopoly by their lack of ambition. At the same time, they complain about the pace of FTTP roll out even though they choose not to sell it.

The TalkTalk "point of difference" was no price rises during the contract term. A very clever way of ensuring customers are locked in.

That must be a new thing. I was with them and left due to a price rise a couple of years ago.

Good to know though, will avoid them in the future.
