Well, that's an easy one to answer since basically there is no secret. Since the Gas, Electricity and Telephone supply services were privatised in the late eighties it has been our right to choose whichever supplier we prefer. Looking at Gas and Electricity supply first, there is no change to your meters, nobody has to enter your property to make the change. Your electricity will still arrive through the same wires, your gas through the same pipes. In fact the only difference you will see is that you will receive your energy supply bill from a different company, and the costs will be lower !!.

Things are slightly different with telephone calls because here the suppliers are forced to use a mixture of their own equipment and BT's equipment. It's possible to pick a supplier who offers a lesser service then BT, albeit at a lower price. However, it's equally possible to pick a new supplier who offers a better service than BT, still at a lower price, the proverbial win-win situation.
