BT Extends its Broadband Reach

BT is removing the distance related limits for 512 kbps ADSL service, bringing potentially more than a million more UK homes and businesses within reach of broadband.



BT said it is confident a 512kbps service can now be provided to the vast majority of people beyond the former limit, which was roughly equivalent to 6km distance from the exchange. BT is also increasing the range for 1Mbps premium services from 4 km to approximately 6km - making 1Mbps ADSL available to 96% of homes and businesses connected to a broadband exchange. http://www.btplc/com
