That's something you'll have to raise with your MP but Ofcom's budget was substantially cut in 2011 so I don't think expansion looks likely.

If you think that a company is abusing its position then that's something for the Competition & Markets Authority, CMA.

CMA: "We work to promote competition for the benefit of consumers, both within and outside the UK. Our aim is to make markets work well for consumers, businesses and the economy." https://www.gov.uk/government/organi...kets-authority

Ofcom: "Ofcom is the communications regulator. We regulate the TV, radio and video on demand sectors, fixed line telecoms, mobiles, postal services, plus the airwaves over which wireless devices operate. On 1 February 2011 Ofcom completed an internal review and reorganisation. This was designed to reduce significantly expenditure in response to the challenge facing the whole of the public sector." http://www.ofcom.org.uk/about/
