Unbelieved if it was true as a cheapest FTTP 3300/3300

That not what the consumer pays !

Care to explain to me please? I thought it was the residential pricing for FTTP 3Gbps. Apologies if I am wrong here.

From the link you posted:

"At £324 +vat per year (or £27 per month) this looks to be quite competitively priced. But it’s worth remembering that Openreach’s price only reflects the wholesale cost of the line, while retail ISPs still have to add all sorts of extra costs on top before getting to the price you pay (e.g. 20% VAT, network/service features, general costs/support, profit margin etc.)."

Which considering BT Wholesale still can't be bothered to upgrade my exchange for 1.8Gbit service, despite it being I think the largest residential coverage exchange in Sheffield......

Its absolutely pointless Openreach having products if there is no backhaul provider to actually carry the traffic to an ISP.

Openreach are to blame there not BTw

That's the rental cost for ISPs with zero bandwidth added.

How so?

How so?

Because BTw is a CP, Openreach maintain the hardware and are at fault.

Sorry I was slightly wrong.

BTw don’t sell 1.8 to anyone, except EE.

If the exchange according to OR (not BTw) checker says 1.8 then that’s BTw.

Depends on your ISP. I moved from AAISP (BTw) to Freeola (resold Zen, on OR) to get 1.8
