BT Wholesale to Double its Next Gen Access Footprint

BT Wholesale announced its intent to significantly expand the availability of next generation copper broadband network, which delivers customers speeds of up to 24 Mbps.


BT now aims to double the current footprint for the service -- bringing it within reach of 20 million homes and businesses by Spring 2011. The company also revealed substantial reductions for the price it charges communications providers in order to encourage the take up of next generation broadband.


BT Wholesale current offers these services from exchanges serving more than 40 percent of UK homes and businesses. The intended expansion of the footprint will take this availability to 55 percent by Spring 2010 and then to around 75 percent depending on customer demand, by Spring 2011.
