The UK has a highly competitive and open market for Internet Service Providers. There are dozens of companies providing services either using their own network or making use of wholesale products provided by BT. BT’s wholesale access products are open to all Internet Service Providers, meaning that consumers have a range of retail Internet Service Providers to buy broadband services from.
