    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?

    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.
