GigaClear (UK) just installed infrastructure on my street, can other providers use it? (alien.top)

Currently on FTTC. GigaClear came recently and ran fibre conduits under all the pavements for FTTP. I know we've had a Fibre multiplex thing at the end of the road since 2022,

I understand GigaClear carried out the work, but as it runs under public pavements etc, is it open for other ISPs? GigaClears reviews are absolutely terrible.

GigaClear is a rural broadband specialist so it may well be a while until bigger FTTP infrastructure networks like Openreach are rolled out in your area. There's a few smaller ISP's like Squirrel that use the GigaClear network. Perhaps chat with some of your neighbours who have signed up with GigaClear to get their feedback before you commit.
