BT’s Consumer division has once again reduced the prices of their ‘up to’ 17Mbps unlimited broadband and superfast ‘up to’ 38Mbps BTInfinity packages, with both now starting at £5 and £10 per month respectively for the first 12 months of service. Sainsbury’s vouchers worth up to £100 are also included.
The City of Cardiff and surrounding regions in the South East of Wales have today jointly proposed a major new City Deal to the UK Government, which could be worth up to £1.28 billion and would hopefully see big improvements to local transport and possibly also digital infrastructure.
The Government’s Broadband Delivery UK initiative, which is primarily working with BT to make fixed line superfast broadband (24Mbps+) services available to 95% of the United Kingdom by 2017/18, has ended Q3 2015 by confirming that 3,311,843 extra premises have now benefited from the effort.
The Onlincolnshire project, which is working to roll-out FTTC/P based “superfast broadband” (24Mbps+) services to “at least” 89% of all premises in Lincolnshire (England) by April 2016, has confirmed that clawback from BT will result in £4.6m being returned to help further boost coverage.
The incumbent East Yorkshire (England) telecoms operator, KC, has confirmed that 5,000 homes and businesses in East Hull have just been added to their on-going “Lightstream” fibre optic broadband (FTTP/C) roll-out project, which aims to reach more than 105,000 premises passed by March 2017.
It’s sometimes easy to forget that BTOpenreach still has the largest “ultrafast” 330Mbps capable fibre optic broadband (FTTP) network in the United Kingdom (details) as they rarely promote it, but there are exceptions, such as in the case of 3,650 new houses and flats being built in Swindon.
