What underlying vendors can customers choose from, and does BT allow vendor switching?

FAQs | Partial evidence | Last verified 2026-08-24

Evidence finding

Confirmed underlying vendor choices historically/currently offered: Cisco (Viptela and Meraki), VMware/Broadcom, Nokia, Fortinet (current lead SASE partner), with Palo Alto also referenced on BT's global/federal SD-WAN page. No public confirmation found on whether an existing customer can switch underlying vendor within their BT contract without a re-platforming project (this is typical of the wider industry, not BT-specific).
