ISPs that offer fibre broadband through BT network

I work from home so need to have invoices for broadband. Unfortunately BT inifinity would only provide full invoice for both broadband and line rental in one.

They do not seperate the bills for residental customers but what I can do is sign up as a business customer and split the bill that way - but it would be pointless as business customers pay 2X for internet which defeats the purpose of this whole thing.

My other option is to just move to a different ISP that uses BTs network and only get internet from them.

EE do this, but they will not provide broadband only service, they require to to migrate line rental too. Are there any services out there that will do both?

Plusnet would be an obvious choice. Fairly cheap and you can leave your line rental and calls with BT.

thanks,

is plustnet the only choice? I'd like to get a full review of all ISPs available.

EE offered to buy me out of my existing bethere contract which has 7 months left. (£13.50x7 = £94.50), but plusnet don't offer that service.

To be honest, I'm not desperately in need of fibre right now - but occasioanlly once every 2 or 3 weeks bethere internet goes **** up and I really wish I had fibre as the service is a little bit more reliable than the copper cable service.

Why can't the broadband be on the same bill as the telephone line and just put a negative entry against the line rental costs?

I'm not sure if this is doable.

I'll have to ask my bookkeeper.

If reliability is an issue then a business account would be better as that has an SLA. The SLA on an ADSL circuit is poor compared to fttp but it exists unlike residential. And that's why it's more expensive that residential.
