I see no mention of the British system. The benefits include being able to stop down at 7-11 and pick up a different ISP. The high level of competition has improved their national connectivity and data rates. We can have this too, but our ruling class (note: federal politicians are a totally different class from from you and me) is paid to frown on things that would cost them money. We would have to nationalize the telephone lines from distribution offices to homes and businesses, and lobbyists simply won't allow that.
