Rejected petition Make BT only invest in a Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) solution for UK broadband

Rejected on 10 May 2016

BT continues to invest in copper cable technology solutions for home broadband, giving them the right to force line rental charges.

BT could solely invest in FTTP, effectively future-proofing UK broadband and easily achieving speeds of up to 1Gbps and more in the future with optional line rental.
