BT Wholesale has announced a new promotion designed to make it cheaper for service providers to move customers onto unbundled (
LLU) based services:
LLU operators will benefit from a 42 per cent reduction in the price for migrating their customers from BT Wholesales other broadband products to its shared LLU offering. This latest reduction in pricing for shared LLU underlines BT Wholesales ongoing commitment to making LLU a success, to further stimulate competition in the UK broadband market.
From 1 July, the price for migrating end-customers from BT Datastream and BT IPstream to shared LLU with the same operator will be reduced from £34.86 to £20.00 (ex.VAT). This offer will apply to LLU operators migrating end-customers in bulk per exchange and will be available for a period of 12 months.
This special offer follows the 70 per cent reduction in total charges for shared LLU introduced by BT Wholesale in September 2004. With the introduction of these price reductions, the UK is now ranked third in Europe on price comparison for shared LLU.The move comes shortly after further
LLU broadband expansion plans were announced by both C&W (
Bulldog) and Tiscali.
