    I have See The Light.

    Lowest package broadband up to 50Mb and line rental = £31.75 pcm
    BT equivalent £34.99, currently on offer to £29.99

    So hardly much difference.
    Excuse any mis-spelt replies, there's probably a cat sat on the keyboard

    Most of these will only provide using their own infrastructure, and to specific large developments where they’ve been given exclusivity during a build, to justify the installation cost. We have Openreach FTTP infrastructure, and extremely limited choice (BT, or Zen which is more expensive than BT).

    It depends on the network the OPs parents properties are on - See the Light is only available on IFNL fibre networks.

    Our new build estate is Virgin Media only at the moment.
    There are no Openreach / BT lines installed, not sure if that will ever change in the future.
