Rejected petition End BT's Monopoly in the U.K. separating the network provider from the suppliers

BT as a monopoly provides an inadequate service that affects thousands of homes and businesses. This is a terrible system that needs to be opened up to the free market in the same way as the electricity and gas networks. Separation of the network provider and the suppliers will give a fairer system.
