Fibre broadband

I have fibre to the premises broadband with BT. When I check other providers deals they say they cannot provide fibre broadband to me only over the phone line. Why is this

    New build estate ?

    May be a lock in period , for cabling the estate BT gets an exclusive period to recover costs

    AS above but if its the OR rollout of FTTP to an area rather than new estates . Its just that no other provider has decided to offer it . They can but at present dont want to .


    Cost of the optical cable from pole to my house is circa £60 .

    Most others don't offer fttp.


    try cerberus they do. If you can't see fibre on there checker then perhaps there is an issue with your data record as it can fail to show up.
