Apologies if this has been posted before, a quick search came up blank. I came across this via a BBC report on fiber BB in Cornwall, apparently BT are trialing broadband regenerators to help the folk that the fibre won't reach http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/broadband/378052/broadband-regenerator-new-hope-for-slow-adsl-lines…

No they haven't and possibly never will. As BT have a share of the exchanges here since LLU was opened up to all providers maybe they might do it, especially as Sky Broadband will be using their network whenever it launches.

They can't really, not without involving Comreg and about 2 years of consultations.
