Vodafone is set to become Britain’s largest full fibre broadband provider following a deal signed with CityFibre.
Vodafone will offer full fibre to more homes than any other provider thanks to investing in partnerships with both Openreach and CityFibre.
Who owns Go fibre
GoFibre is the trading name for Borderlink broadband, a Scottish independent broadband provider, founded by our CEO, Alex Cacciamani in his hometown of Duns.
Can I have WiFi without a phone line
In order to get fixed internet without a landline, you’ll need to have access to full fibre broadband (also known as fibre-to-the-premises) or Virgin media‘s cable broadband.
These are the only fixed-line broadband services that deliver a signal to your home without the need for phone lines.
What is the difference between BT Fibre 1 and Fibre 2
With a Fibre 1 package, speeds increase to an average of 50Mbps, and with a Fibre 2 package, speeds can average 67Mbps.
Users with Fibre Essential and Fibre 1 get upload speeds up to 9.5Mpbs, and Fibre 2 users benefit from upload speeds of around 19.5Mpbs.
Is there an alternative to BT
Virgin Media is a common BT alternative worth considering, since they use completely seperate coaxial cable lines to offer faster speeds.
Other major alternatives like Plusnet, Zen Internet, and Shell Energy offer different plans and customer service, but use the same Openreach lines as BT.
Do you still have to pay BT line rental with Sky
All packages are unlimited and have access to Bt wi-fi‘s nationwide network of five million hotspots.
Line rental is included as standard with both BT and Sky products.
Why did BT buy Plusnet
The two companies established a partnership two years ago to share technical knowledge on broadband development and marketing.
“We have been impressed with the management team in the past, hence the reason for the acquisition,” the BT spokesperson said.
But PlusNet has not always been viewed favourably by customers.

Is Plusnet owned by Sky
BT is Plusnet’s parent company.
Is BT better than TalkTalk
Winner: Draw – TalkTalk speeds are more reliable at entry-level superfast but BT have the edge on faster deals.
BT offer advertised broadband speeds of 10Mb, 36Mb, 50Mb, 67Mb, 100Mb, 500Mb and 900Mb while TalkTalk offer 11Mb, 38Mb, 67Mb, 145Mb, 290Mb and 550Mb.
Do BT and Virgin use the same cables
Virgin use their own infrastructure. BT uses Openreach’s so if Openreach have either full fibre or Fibre to the Cabinet in your area it will be a different cable used to what Virgin Media gave you.
Is BT full fibre better than Virgin
In terms of superfast fibre speeds, Virgin edges BT. They have a faster top speed package than BT, but also the lowest package they offer averages 108 Mbps.
Does Sky use virgin Fibre
Sky and Virgin Media use separate infrastructure to deliver broadband and TV. While Sky uses Openreach’s copper and fibre network, Virgin Media uses its own cable network.
That means you can technically have both Sky and Virgin Media broadband at the same house.
Does BT have a monopoly
There is no monopoly or exclusive agreement with BT, you live in a new build estate and the developer asked Openreach to install services, Virgin Media have their own network which is why they are not an option.
Is Sky or BT WIFI better
Sky ranks highly for customer satisfaction and regularly gets awards for its work. The latest industry data from Ofcom shows Sky and BT both ranked well for customer satisfaction with 86% of customers saying they were satisfied with their service.
Sky had just 21 complaints per 100,000 customers compared with 50 at BT.
Does BT need a dish
Re: Can I get BT TV without a satellite dish Hi TimEaston, BT TV doesn’t require a satellite dish but you will need an aerial to get the Freeview channels.
Are EE and Plusnet the same company
Plusnet Mobile has a number of things going for it, starting with the fact that it’s owned by BT, which also owns EE.
That means it uses EE’s infrastructure, which is a good thing as EE has more 4G coverage than rivals and even some 5G coverage – though Plusnet itself doesn’t yet offer 5G.
Does BT own EE
Is EE part of BT? Following a merger in 2016, EE became part of the BT Group.
EE’s mobile network is the UK’s most reliable mobile network and offers 5G in more of the UK than any other network.
EE also has more than 600 shops in towns and cities across the country.
Do you need a BT landline for Sky
No. Unless you have a fibre optic cable to your property, you need a landline to deliver your broadband service.
That’s the same with BT or any other provider reliant on the Openreach infrastructure.
Who is cheaper Sky or BT
Sky is the clear winner here; not only do they offer the cheapest package, it is much faster than BT’s cheapest broadband deal.
Which is best Sky Virgin or BT
Generally speaking, Virgin tends to get you the fastest speeds at the most affordable prices, although you might need to pay extra to get the TV you’re looking for.
Where it’s not available, BT’s often the strongest option for fast fibre, but the same applies to its TV.
Which is cheaper BT or Sky
Cost. BT TV is generally a lot cheaper than Sky TV – although both providers often have special deals and offers on.
Who are BT competitors
BT’s competitors and similar companies include Telenor, Telefonica, Virgin Group, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom and Orange.
BT Group (formerly British Telecom) is a company that provides communications services. Telenor is a telecommunications provider.
Do Sky and BT use the same lines
Sky, TalkTalk and Vodafone all provide broadband using BT’s Openreach network.
What companies are in BT Group?
- BT Ireland
- BT Italia
- EE
- Openreach
- Plusnet
When did BT buy EE
In October 2012 it was rebranded to EE concurrently while launching the UK’s first 4G mobile network.
It was acquired by BT in January 2016 and has been part of BT’s consumer division since April 2018, operating under three brands: BT, EE, and Plusnet.
Are BT and Sky the same company
Under the terms of the agreement, BT will market and sell Sky’s Now TV service – including the Sky Atlantic, Sky One, Sky Living, Sky Sports and Sky Cinema channels – to its customers.
BT will wholesale its BT Sport channels to Sky, allowing the firm to sell them directly to Sky customers.
What’s better BT or Virgin
Overall. Virgin wins by a mile on speed, but lags slightly behind BT when it comes to customer service; two of the most important factors when it comes to choosing a broadband provider.
BT has decent technology and some great extras, but if you want fast and reliable broadband, Virgin may be the way to go.
Has BT been split into 2 companies
Ofcom and BT have agreed that Openreach will become a legally separate business within BT.
Openreach’s management will be legally required to make decisions in the interests of all Openreach’s customers.
Around 32,000 staff will transfer across to the new company and all BT branding will disappear from Openreach.
Can you get out of a BT contract
You have to pay an ‘early termination fee’ if you cancel your service before the end of your ‘minimum contract period’.
The end of the minimum contract period is usually either 12, 18 or 24 months from the date your started your service.
