The product and the market will see it out in the end.
If it’s no good it’s no good, no matter how much money you throw at it. The consumer is not an idiot.
I don’t disagree that some people will be bullied or pushed aside along the way and nothing makes that right. But ultimately the consumer decides.
Unless they don’t get to decide.
Like if the government decides for you.

You are having an absolute laugh if you think BT and Virgin price their products to millions of customers in order to compete with this. Given the high cost of deployment prices will remain high anyway in the first instance.

You would have to combine all the other altnets numbers against VM & BT for a true reflection.
Also what do you think is driving VM to offer 1G, services? It’s not BT.
It is all the other companies listed. Are driving down prices? No you’re right they probably aren’t. Are they driving up service and innovation - absolutely. Again nothing a state monopoly would be inclined to do
