    Then it would be pointless having a seperate company if they where the same .


    Where an ISP ( Vodafone )puts in FTTP or as you say FTTH then they have sole control and are the only supplier .Prices will have no competitors .


    Where OpenReach put in FTTP / FTTH then any other supplier can use that to supply by law .As OR slowly rollout FTTP other ISPs will start to take up with more competetive pricing .

    I wrote earlier
    Start haggling with BT today and couldn’t get them to move below £29.99 for landline and web plus weekend calls (not evening) plus an extra £5.00 if I want for anytime calls Total £34.99

    On the other hand PlusNet were offering £23.99 for internet and line rental plus £8 if I want anytime calls. In addition £50 bonus. Leaving the bonus aside that’s 31.99. Not much in it
    Anyway I contacted them this morning and after a bit of haggling £27.99 + £5 for anytime calls and what swung it for me was the.£80 gift card, but it took some doing. We were almost finished when I suggested he asked his manager and if he said yes I would stay.

    He said yes 😋
