There are those who manage and operate the physical infrastructure that is in place and then their are the service providers who purchase and rent out parts of this infrastructure to offer phone and internet packages to us the end consumer.The two well-known operators that have a majority stronghold on the current infrastructure are BT Openreach and Virgin Media. BT and Virgin also operate as service providers by offering phone and Internet packages across the country. Other service providers also offer their packages and services on the same infrastructure such as TalkTalk, Sky and EE.The new LCR Connect infrastructure is exclusively built by a company called ITS, who are well known for building and maintaining several other fibre lines across the UK. ITS will offer three different packages as a service provider on this new infrastructure.
