BT has named the next locations that it will be rolling out it’s fibre network to, which has 69 new locations around the UK listed on it.
BT have doubled their original estimate of having half a million premises connected to their fibre network by March 2010 up to 1 million premises, with BT expecting that by early summer 2010 there will be 1.5 million homes that will be able to access the new network.
BT has also planned that by 2012 that 40% of the UK, or 10 million homes, would have access to it’s super fast fibre broadband network with the majority connecting to it via FTTC (Fibre To The Cabinet) which should initially offer broadband speeds of 40Mb. The company have pledged to invest £1.5 bn in this roll out of fibre broadband across the UK.
