fractionally under 5600 odd Exchanges, of them very very approximately 1500 are market 3, 700 market 2, and the rest 3000+ market 1.
(There will be an ofcom document somewhere with the accurate figures)
Approx BT network figures suitably rounded
100000 PCP street cabinets
5 million joint boxes and 5 million distribution points
just over 30 million land lines
