Not sure why you are so upset at what was predicted ( and pointed out ) , you can’t stay on Gfast , so if FTTP isn’t available then it’s FTTC or mobile or nothing , if FTTC speeds are insufficient that’s unfortunate, but puts you in no worse of a position than many others , if you ‘insist’ that you remain on Gfast until a better alternative is available, then apparently that’s not possible and it’s not your call to make , although you taking a PSTN phone service with your Gfast , and the removal of PSTN , has probably quickened Gfast demise in your case , the BT obligation to maintain your telephone service (which can’t be done with Gfast without PSTN ) means you are moved to FTTC because otherwise your claim would be that BT removed your telephone service without permission .
Clearly your price should reduce to reflect the fact that you are on FTTC and not Gfast , and as this change wasn’t of your making presumably you can leave penalty free , but you do seem to be railing against reality, Gfast is sunset technology even if you want it to remain it’s going to cease , PSTN is in the process of retirement and Gfast (even if it were not a sunset technology) cannot maintain your presumably still needed landline telephone service .
As far as you wanting to leave BT because of this , that’s fine , obviously if you still need telephone and broadband and Openreach are the only viable option it will be with FTTC and with IP telephony.
or go with a third party provider, or will those services end in 2027 too?
[Mod edit - third party details removed]
As I said, its Openreach's decision, not BT. (They are separate companies, albeit both "BT Group"). Any service using Openreach infrastructure will be in the same position.
Discussing a competitor on here isn’t allowed , you would need to do your own research to ascertain if it’s possible to get a new Gfast connection from another supplier when BT don’t offer it as a portfolio product as it’s no longer supported by Openreach , it’s possible OR don’t allow it as well as BT ( I doubt it but can’t say with 100% certainty ) something for certain is you wouldn’t get PSTN telephony although although regular VoIP should not be an issue which would need the number (if it’s important) to be ported within 30 days of cessation or it’s not retrievable, BTW , it’s the new provider responsible for that not the old one .
If a different provider can reprovide Gfast through some ‘loophole’ you would need to consider the possibility that Openreach will not support it , if for example the site specific NTE (Gfast uses a different NTE ) fails , OR basically say to your ISP , it’s unsupported, tough luck , your new ISP may say you signed up knowing that , and they insist on you fulfilling the minimum term , leaving you to source the replacement Gfast NTE yourself , you may think it a worthwhile risk , but my suspicion is OR just won’t allow Gfast to be ordered from anyone so this situation never comes up.
