I can't remember where I read it and how long ago it was, but BT by law have to provide a fixed telephone service to the areas they service in the UK; in Hull they're exempt because Kingston has the monopoly there. Any other company can possibly provide you a phone line in this country, but BT have to be able to install the line and provide the service in the first place. All new properties built have this provision, most old ones do too. It's not always from a telegraph pole either, there are places in town around the exchange where there are no telegraph poles, but a lot of BT ducting covers.
