Really? I'd heard it was the other way round...

My company grudingly signed a 3-year lease with BT for our Internet. My 
boss really wants to shop around for better deals.

(Er, HELLO? Are you not getting this? BT OWN ALL THE WIRES IN THE 
GROUND. THERE ARE NO OTHER TELECOMS PROVIDERS IN THE UK [except in 
London]. No matter who you pay the bills to, the wires under the ground 
are still being provided by the same people... WTF?)
