To find out if you can get high-speed fibre broadband via FTTP, use an FTTP checking tool.
You’ll find these on an ISP’s website to let you quickly check if FTTP has been rolled out to your area.
If not, FTTC is probably the best alternative (unless you live in rural areas).

Why is Virgin broadband so much faster than BT
BT vs Virgin Media: fibre broadband availability Unlike most other providers, Virgin Media doesn’t use Openreach and owns and operates its own cable broadband network.
And while it’s not as wide-ranging as Openreach, it uses newer technology to deliver faster speeds to Virgin Media customers.

Do Bt pensioners get free broadband
Pensioners can get free or reduced broadband and phone services if they receive Universal Credit.
Those with incomes above the minimums for Universal Credit generally cannot get free service, although some providers like BT offer limited-time offers including free installation or outright pensioner discounts.
Is BT Broadband better than sky
BT VS Sky: Average broadband speeds BT’s superfast fibre optic package boasts average speeds of 36Mbps, and its Fibre 1 and Fibre 2 broadband gives you 50Mbps and 67Mbps respectively.
Conversely, Sky has just one fibre optic package on offer, with 59Mbps average speeds.
Why is Virgin Media so much faster
Virgin uses its own cabling network, rather than the Openreach network, so it can offer speeds faster than most other providers.
On average, Virgin customers receive speeds very close to those advertised, and in many cases, faster than those advertised.
Do I have to pay for a BT engineer
There’s no charge for most engineer visits. So, if an engineer is already visiting your premises to carry out some work, there wouldn’t be a cost.
There may be a charge if an engineer is called out to fix a fault that you could fix yourself, like a fault with your phone equipment.
What internet is 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.
Can I have BT and Virgin in the same house
no, they use two entirely different physical networks, virgin can’t use BT lines, and BT can’t use virgin lines.
What is BT doing better than its competitors
BT has a large number of substitute products as compared to its competitors. The two biggest advantages with BT are its highest number of fixed lines and low cost.
The price sensitivity of the budget customers is however higher which is often compensated by the high range of products with less price variance.
Why is my BT bill so high
Why is your BT bill higher than others? The amount you pay often depends on how loyal you’ve been to BT.
If you joined on a cheap offer then after a time you could have been moved up to a higher “Standard Tariff” and then you could have had ten years of price hikes added to your bill.
