Hi. Where I live, the major landowner has installed its own ultrafast fibre optic cables to the local area, including into the blocks of flats where I live. The connection boxes are on the landings outside our flats. The landowner has arranged some ultrafast broadband package offers from a small number of companies. All but one are at ultra expensive prices, more than deals offered to the rest of the UK population. One or two neighbours have signed up, but I think most cannot afford it. G-network also put in optic fibres in the local streets, and offered deals half the price of the ones the freeholder landlord's lot are offering for the same speeds. But I think they were denied wayleave by the freeholder landlord to connect into the blocks of flats. I cannot find out whether or not talktalk is going to get wayleave, or if they intend to apply for it here. I contacted Ofcom about this, but they have no interest in the prices of opticfibre deals - just as long as it is available that is fine with them. Never mind if it is unaffordable.
Is anyone else in this sort of situation? There are other major landowners around, but have any installed their own optic fibres in the streets where they own the freehold?
