Under the terms of the three year agreement, BT Wholesale will support SSE’s expansion plans to become a high quality, national provider of integrated communications services to its 8.5 million customers in the UK. The service is expected to launch this summer.

The agreement also includes second line customer support and the development of a customised online portal that will enable SSE’s customers to access the service.

SSE is an existing BT Wholesale customer, offering telephony services to around 150,000 customers across the UK. Today’s agreement builds on that relationship and will enables SSE to rapidly bring high speed broadband and voice services to its home energy customers under BT Wholesale’s white label managed services portfolio. These new services will enhance SSE’s existing customer portfolio of services and help maintain customer satisfaction levels.
