We have fttp. I looked at other providers as BT charge an arm and a leg. The competitors charge both arms and both legs unfortunately.A list of providers is here https://www.openreach.com/fibre-broadband/fttp-providers1

Using the term ‘cable’ normally indicates Virgin Media cable, if you have full fibre (FTTP) and you don’t want to use BT, there is a list of providers , BT and the others that use Openreach FTTP on OR’s website0

We use Smarty at our caravan, but it would need a mifi router. It's only standard broadband but has supported 4 off us, two adults on laptops and two children on tablets. It is inclusive of unlimited calls and texts.0

Install a WiFi analyser app on your phone and take a walk around your development to see if any non bt signals can be found.0
