03 June 2009 - BT offers free boost to customer broadband speeds

BT have announced that following 21CN trials they are rolling out faster connection speeds to existing customers, to the tune of up to 20Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream.

Initially these faster speeds will be available from 549 telephone exchanges, serving more than 10 million UK homes and businesses. Subject to demand plans exist to extend this to 55% by March 2010.

"Unlike other providers, BT is upgrading customers to 20Mb/s for free. High-speed broadband provides a faster and more reliable service that will transform the way we live, work, learn and play. We are already the UK's largest retailer of broadband and today's announcement shows that we offer terrific value for money. We believe the true value of broadband is in helping customers enjoy the exciting new services that it makes possible. In line with the Government's Digital Britain review, we will be making higher speeds more widely available."

- Gavin Patterson, chief executive officer, BT Retail

Customers wishing to take the the offer will have to sign a new contract, and whilst Business customers can sign up now no date has been set for Consumers.
