Are you also a BT FTTP customer that has been told they are being migrated onto DV but hasn’t had an offer of ‘free’ equipment, or is your question simply idle curiosity ?
Just because there has been no link provided to an offer of ‘free’ equipment it doesn’t disprove its existence, it would be understandable if BT only contacted customers that qualify, after all , doubtless many would contact BT on the basis that if there was something available for ‘free’ then they want in on it, including those who currently couldn’t get DV anyway.
The OP received some sort of communication about ‘DV’, but the details provided were scant, anecdotally, those offered DV have been offered equipment ( although it isn’t necessary as ‘regular’ equipment also works ) , should the offer of this free equipment end, there is no reason for anyone with DV who did benefit to be upset, after all getting a regular phone line doesn’t come with a phone
