OR have a deal for developers to wire up their site for FTTP for zero cost. Virgin have a similar offering

Downside is that 1st contract probably needs to be with BT. OR won't install copper to a premises already supplied with FTTP.

Based on what information does the first contract need to be with BT?

I guessed wrong, it would appear that you can go with whoever you want out of the limited FTTP ISPs.

Of course that assumes that the developer hasn't done a deal that ties you in to BT.

Still waiting for one single documented instance of that happening. Together with an explanation of how it can be done as BT supply over Openreach backhaul and Openreach are compelled by OFCOM to make their network available on an equal basis to all ISPs.

The point is that ‘BT’ isn’t a network operator/owner so developers cannot do a deal with ‘BT’ in the same way as they could with Virgin Media or any ‘alt net’ , if Openreach provide the network into a new development , then OR have to offer wholesale access to communication providers that wants to use that network
