BT Openreach Further Reduces 100Mbps and 1Gbps Ethernet Prices

BTOpenreach has announced another round of Ethernet price reductions for their business customers and ISPs, which are due to come into effect on 1st October 2016 and will impact a number of their 100Mbps and 1Gbps speed connections.

As usual the changes are largely a reflection of Ofcom’s Business Connectivity regulation and will primarily impact Openreach’s Ethernet Access Direct (EAD) and Ethernet Backhaul Direct (EBD) products, as well as a few other services.

For example, the connection price of a 1Gbps EAD service will fall by between -25% and -37%. Similarly the cost of renting a 1Gbps EBD service will fall by at least -34% and the connection charge for all variants of EAD 100Mbps will reduce by £15 (-1%). Check out the full list of price reductions.
