CLACTON MP Douglas Carswell has signed up to a cross-party campaign calling on BT to sell off its broadband service Openreach.
The report, co-signed by 121 MPs, said BT’s subsidiary Openreach had so far received £1.7billion in taxpayer subsidies, yet delivered poor consumer service, with 5.7million homes not having acceptable broadband speeds.
Mr Carswell said: “I’ve had constituents write in from Thorpe and Weeley saying how appalling their internet connection is.”
