I did have issues placing the order because there was a known issue of orders getting automatically rejected and Zen Support was fantastic and all done quickly via email, I've been given my username and password and IP address already, no modem yet.

Zen sell FTTP through Openreach and CityFibre. Fair chance you'll be using CF's network.
It usually tells you when buying a package, I know Vodafone do when providing a line via an Altnet.
Virgin Media did intent to go wholesale too and offer their network up for use by altnets but backed out I believe. I do wonder if their very differing network types in areas played an issue. Had the pleasure of using their XGS-PON product with a HUB 5x. Given that they've set this up so that the optical cable and thus light travels directly to the router rather than an ONT, I cant see how they could have wholesaled these areas out to other providers, unless they covered the virgin logo with a Vodafone one
Good service though, just had a huge drawback of no ONT and a router that had no Modem mode, leaving you with double NAT mesh networks.
Other than I believe BT intend to shuffle every non-business customer onto EE as that becomes the consumer broadband and telephone base of BT group, ive probably about covered everything.
