So my current ISP is BT where I get
Part Fibre
Up to 75MBPS speeds (Normally get 30-40)
BT TV
TNT Sports (HD)
Sky Sports (HD)
Netflix (4K)
my price was £99 a month then £112 now gone up to over £140 as contract run out too expensive want to reduce it!
the issues is I have been trying for the last 2 years to get FTTP full Fibre install in my flat via Openreach/City Fibre (live in a block of flats)

The freeholder has told me I need to fill out the Openreach/City Fibre Wayleaver forms online with their details which I did last night!
So what’s the likely hood they will accept FTTP from Openreach/City Fibre & the likely timeframes will it be 1-2 years or allot of quicker to get connected!
Will I be able to keep the same package with BT but reduce my bill onto a rolling contract? Or any providers out there that offer rolling contracts for broadband? As I refuse to sign up to another 24 months FTTC Contract when I know FTTP is coming

That monthly cost is outrageous, I've just come out of contract so have lost a discount and have been adjusted for the April price rise - my cost for Fibre 1 FTTC + BT TV + TNT Sport in HD is £66/month.
Sky Sports + Netflix would take it up to £100ish.0 -
That’s is outrageous but I was hoping FTTP would of
been installed by now so could reduce my price to under £100 I can’t give up sky sports F1
so looking at Rolling contract for broadband till FTTP is available then tv else where0 -
Update
Wayleaver has been agreed with City Fibre
site survey has been booked with the fibre deployment team/City fibre
Once that’s done Fibre deployment team will work with city fibre to connect us then we can order full fibre yay won’t be long now
