Unlock Exchange-Only lines and offer super-fast broadband to all

Petition Details

Exchange only lines are those that do not have a cabinet and are usually feet from the exchange. Due to the way the lines have been configured, EO lines that go directly into the exchange (no cabinet) cannot get super- fast broadband. This is not the fault of the home owner.

Additional Information

OFCOM has not moved this forward either so the government must step in to unlock EO lines and force companies to upgrade these lines or find a solution. This affects hundreds of properties around the country, despite being in busy towns and cities, they cannot get fast broadband.
The current UK broadband backend provider (Openreach) must be take over the costs and be held responsible
Failing this the government must set up a fund to unlock these lines, in order to offer all super-fast broadband.
