BT Wholesale is Openreach. One hopes that they've got it on their list for backhaul upgrades.

Openreach is a part of BT Group, but they're very much supposed to be an arm's length relationship with Wholesale nowadays. (Supposed to be.)

The 'supposed' to be seperated is just another lie from the BT group. My Openreach engineer friend was saying they still carry homehubs, now that's not exactly being free from BT is it. Interesting to see what happens to BT after all the mistakes and legal wrangles, like over spending on the champions league, buying EE and finally the pension plan <ahem> borrowing they did to patch the holes from the legal wrangles in Italy and all the cock ups by Gavin Patterson...
