BT To Double 100Mb Fibre Optic Broadband Coverage
BT (www.BT.com) BT has announced plans to more than double its 100Mbps ‘fibre to the premise’ (FTTP) broadband coverage by 2012.
The company will roll out next generation fibre optic broadband (FTTP) speeds of up to 100Mbps to 2.5 million homes in the UK, that’s up from the 1 million premises it originally targeted.
The new fibre to the premises plans fit within BT’s overall target of reaching 10 million UK homes with fibre optic broadband by 2012.
Fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) broadband services with initial speeds up to 40Mbps will be provided to those homes not connected using FTTP.
Steve Robertson, CEO of Openreach, the part of BT responsible for deploying the technology said, “This development shows that we are determined to bring world-leading broadband speeds to UK homes and businesses. Service providers have asked us for more FTTP and so we have listened to them”.
Robertson continued, “The UK already leads the world when it comes to broadband availability and today’s announcement will help the UK climb the speed league tables as well. The UK is well placed but we need to invest for the future so that customers can access the rich applications that will be popular in a few years time”.

The aggressive plans follow the increasing demand in the UK for faster, more reliable broadband internet access while out and about.
When speaking about the demand for better broadband access on the move, BT Retail’s Director of Wireless Broadband, Dave Hughes, said, “The real revolution is the handheld device. People are perfectly happy to get these devices out of their pockets in the street to update their social networking sites or check their emails, which isn’t the case with laptops”.
Hughes continued, “Pretty soon there will be a Wi-Fi hotspot on every corner in the UK”.
BT currently has just over 500,000 Wi-Fi broadband hotspots in the UK and is doubling its Wi-Fi traffic on its Openzone network every year.
With a recent contract won to supply Wi-Fi broadband services to Starbuck coffee stores across the UK, the company firmly believes there is the potential to grow its Wi-Fi traffic even faster.
