UPD ISP BT Cuts 200Mbps and 300Mbps Ultrafast FTTP Broadband Prices

BT’s Consumer ISP division has started to push their ultrafast 200-300Mbps Fibre-to-the-Premise (FTTP) based broadband packages (Infinity 3 and 4) a bit by reducing the monthly prices for new subscribers and adding a Reward Card (MasterCard) worth £125.

Openreach’s roll-out of native ultrafast FTTP technology is slowly starting to pick-up the pace (435,000 premises passed) and once complete their service should be available to around 2 million premises across the UK, although this still reflects quite a limited level of national availability.

Never the less Thinkbroadband has spotted that BT’s retail division are starting to focus a little more promotional effort on their FTTP packages. On the other hand it could also be seen as a partial response to Virgin Media’s recent speed boost up to 300Mbps (here). The key difference being that VM’s service is already available to more than half of the country.

Otherwise both of BT’s FTTP packages include an unlimited data usage allowance, 500GB of BT cloud storage, Virus Protect on 15 devices & Parental Controls, the Smart Hub wireless router, free UK weekend calls, Call Protect to prevent nuisance calls, free access to BT’s national network of public WiFi Hotspots, a 12 month contract, line rental and a £9.99 one-off setup fee.

Unlimited Infinity 3
Download speeds of 200Mbps
Upload speeds of 20Mbps

PRICE: £59.99 per month for 12 months (£66.49 thereafter)

Unlimited Infinity 4
Download speeds of 300Mbps
Upload speeds of 20Mbps

PRICE: £64.99 per month for 12 months (£73.49 thereafter)

It’s important to note that the above packages are completely separate from the FTTP-on-Demand product, which not even BT’s Business division sells (here).

UPDATE:

Price correction above due to annoying left/right navigation slider on BT’s website tripping me up.
