Why is Ultrafast available by other suppliers but not BT at my address ? ? ?

Why can I get Ultrafast from TalkTalk ( I would NEVER use them as their customer service is appalling , at best ) , Zen and Giganet and not from BT , even though the equipment ( most of the time ) is in BT exchanges ???

Because BT will only use the Openreach infrastructure. Presumably you're being offered access to an AltNet's infrastructure via the ISPs you've mentioned.

From the list of providers you have given I'm assuming city fibre have their full fibre network in your area whereas Openreach do not.

Yes City Fibre does , but I do know for a fact that the City Fibre equipment is in the towns main BT exchange.
I can't think of ANY reason why BT wouldn't want to fit their own equipment , unless they want to lose money to a competitor ? ? ?

It's not just the equipment at a headend exchange but laying a network of fibre optics cables to allow each property to connect to their own full fibre network.

You may find Openreach may have plans between now and 2026 for your area too: https://www.openreach.com/fibre-broadband/where-when-building-ultrafast-full-fibre-broadband

I find it extremely weird that Crawley isn't even in the list at all and yet Copthorne is , especially as Crawley is considered as a large town in the densely populated South East ? ? ?
