Network access provider Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has notified UK ISPs that they’ve launched three new special offers, which reflect a mix of connection discounts and free upgrades for those looking to take a 1Gbps speed Ethernet Access Direct (EAD) line – this provides dedicated point-to-point data connectivity between sites.<\/p>\n

The first offer reflects a new EAD 1Gb connection discount in the High-Network Reach (HNR) access market, for the duration of 2026\/27 with the connection charge set at \u00a3547 excluding VAT for Local Area (LA) and Standard (STD) circuits and \u00a3647 for Extended Reach (ER) circuits. The HNR reflects roughly 9% of UK postcode sectors with significant competitive infrastructure for leased lines, but where Openreach<\/a> still retains Significant Market Power.<\/p>\n

In addition, Openreach<\/a> has also launched a similar connection discount for EAD 1Gb lines in the Central London Area (CLA). Finally, the operator has renewed the EAD 1Gb Remote Upgrade Special Offer for the duration of FY 2026\/27, allowing ISPs to remotely upgrade 10Mbps and 100Mbps EAD lines to 1Gbps for free (without incurring the price list \u00a3100 regrade charge).
