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. |
I'll be on the Openreach network, unfortunately City Fibre is still in the 'planned' stage in my area and not Live, but I hope it'll go live by the time my 18 month contract is up because it'll be cheaper and off better speeds.
In the email they say the ONT needs to be close to a power socket, do they mean right next to it so they can grab power from it by plugging something in because in the Zen videos nothing was plugged into a power socket so do they just use that for the modem?
