BT is to double the availabilty of faster broadband to homes and businesses.
Currently only about 40% of the UK’s homes and businesses are covered by BT’s fast copper network, which offers speeds of up to 24 megabits a second. BT Wholesale has announced that it will almost double the reach of the network by spring 2011.
The copper line-based broadband network will now be expanded to cover 75% of Britain.
Cameron Rejali, Managing Director, Products, BT Wholesale said the announcement was "further evidence of BT’s commitment to deliver next-generation broadband services across the UK".
He said: "By expanding the footprint and reducing wholesale prices, we are helping communications providers deliver faster speeds to more customers, essential benefits in the tough economic and competitive environment we face today."
