Make BT only invest in a Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) solution for UK broadband

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

BT continues to invest in copper cable technology solutions for home broadband, giving them the right to force line rental charges.

BT could solely invest in FTTP, effectively future-proofing UK broadband and easily achieving speeds of up to 1Gbps and more in the future with optional line rental.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This isn't something that the UK Government or Parliament could do. BT is not a public body.
