You may find your service provider will be even more active over the next
6 months as for those using the Openreach network the rental charges that
your provider pays will be increasing significantly, circa up by 80% by
Oct this year. NB that will not mean you pay those additional charges.

Also don't forget there is help for vunerable users and in particular
those with Telecare products so make sure your provider is aware of any
additional help you need.
With c. 2m customer still to go its better to get this done sooner rather
than later.
The other thing to remember is that you don't need to go full fibre,
though you may be encouraged and it may be best too, unless you want to or
there is a stop sell on legacy copper products for the exchange you are
off. Think nearly 6-% of the exchanges have a stop sell or an announced
one in place now.
Chris Hughes , WROCC , has also done some good work with some clear
explanations in WROCC talks recently so check out their YouTube channel.
