Just wondering as it’s been ~6 months, has there been any movement in the wholesale market that might make these speeds more widely available? Any possibility for 2025?

I’d be keen to upgrade but currently it seems the only two offering those speeds at my postcode are EE and Vodafone :/

Don't hold your breath on BTw, Zen is the only wholesaler offering it just now if you're lucky to have them locally

We had BTw in the office yesterday. It was brought up again, but we get no sense they have any appetite for it....whilst in the same breathe telling us they see a decline in connections, as CPs are placing orders elsewhere (funny that).

That's a real shame. I take it there's no option to purchase those products direct from openreach the way some other ISPs do?

I've seen some Cityfibre roadworks intermittently crop up around town, hopefully they come my way in the future.

The commercial levels to deal direct with Openreach are a milestone that only the very biggest providers can reach. This is why the likes of BTWholesale exist which is most have a relationship with.

Unfortunately Openreach doesn't offer a national handover unlike CityFibre so this is why ISPs will use the likes of BT wholesale, Vodafone wholesale, etc. Zen wholesale appears to be the only platform that actually offers this
