It's that time of every few years when Ofcom conduct their review of BT and Sky, TalkTalk, Vodafone, etc, appeal to Ofcom to separate BT's Openreach division, the division that runs the exchanges, cabling and FTTC/P, from the rest of BT Group.
BT's offer to avoid this happening is discussed in a few places and is standard for BT. Offer a 'carrot' and save the legal action 'stick' for just in case.

Basically they say they will deliver a minimum of 5-10Mb nationwide should Ofcom request it.
They will deliver 300Mb-500Mb G.fast or 1Gb FTTP to 10 million premises by 2020, with 1Gb Fibre on Demand available to at least some areas covered by G.fast.
Not featured in the stories but Openreach will move from trial phase to pilot deployments of G.fast next calendar year.
