@MisstickMegwrote:
Maybe BT should be forced to sell openreach then it would be true that they are not the same. Until then...
It doesn’t matter, BT Openreach is embedded in the British psyche and it could be owned by a foreign company. People would still associate Openreach with BT. To give a Scouting example, I still hear people referring to Scout Masters or Boy Scouts. Scout Master changed to Scout Leader over half a century ago and Scouts has been boys and girls for many decades. I’m sure that there are still people that believe BT is owned by the government.
There is of course the famous scam, this BT Openreach … when I ask them which one, you cannot be both it confuses them completely.
