There might be if Virgin took an interest, but they do not.
They probably have, but there probably was insufficient density to justify laying their own duct, and BT's PIA reference offer is a joke.

If other operators, such as Virgin, were allowed access to BT's poles and ducts on more reasonable commercial and legal terms then there may be greater scope for competition in otherwise poorly served areas. Unfortunatley Ofcom has no teeth and BT have most likely have too much lobbying influence.

Anyhow, I promised not to contribute to this thread anymore. So I'm off for good !
