Leaving BT

OP
If its indeed FTTP then the problem is a limited number of ISPs have taken this up so far , no competition not inclined to deal .
If its the older fibre to the cabinet with small black router fed of small BT Master socket then free to choose from many ISPs .
Virgin as said they use their own cables ( no competition on them )
Reduce price start move away and current ISP usually come back with a better offer .
Though not sure if you can move to a old Fibre from FTTP .
Can't see why not providing you have your old telephone line active?'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -
Yes if they wired in the copper , No if no copper connect connection to Master Socket .0

Decided to move to Sky. Asked a few more colleagues who are currently with Sky and they are happy with their BB.
If BT come back with a cheaper deal once I have signed up with Sky, tough. If they are able to offer a cheaper deal then they should offer it before customers switch.
Thanks all for your help and advice.0
