BT offers faster connection | | 2008/05/02 | | BT will offer faster broadband connections to around one million households in the UK from this week, as it allows UK internet service providers (ISP) to use its 21st Century Network.
The telecom company has announced that its BT Wholesale division will be making its ADSL2+ technology available to ISPs.
BT has projected that ADSL2+, which is already used by ISPs such as Sky, Be and O2 in telephone exchanges, will have spread to 10 million households and businesses by 2009.
Chief executive of BT Wholesale, Sally Davis, commented: "In order to support the rising tide of new multimedia applications and multiplay services delivered over broadband, communications providers require a new set of tools to enhance the broadband experience."
Fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) networks are currently being deployed by foreign telecom firms, offering symmetrical download/upload speeds of 100 Mbps.
