Unfortunately unless additional funding is put in, this position is unlikely to change. The current telco provider already uses BT circuits where appropriate/possible and there are very strict rules in place regarding telco equivalence to ensuring that BT cannot offer circuits more cheaply to it's own customers than it will provide to others (that said, the new partnership is a LCC/BT joint venture company 60% owned by BT, not just "BT" the company) Regarding BT fibre, unless the price across the board comes down, the situation will be the same as at present. This isn't to say more funding won't become available for the radio/another solution though. As far as I am aware, the few harder to connect sites which haven't received an upgrade as yet aren't off the radar by any means, and the push will continue through the transfer.
