BT Cuts LLU Connection Charge
Posted: 17th Nov, 2005 By: MarkJ
BT has announced a 40% cut to the cost of connecting new customers to a local loop unbundled (LLU) exchange. From 15th December next month the one-time charge will fall from £168.38 +VAT to £99.95 +VAT. But that's not all:
BT will also be withdrawing the minimum term rental charges for both its shared and fully unbundled products giving LLU operators the opportunity to pass this benefit on to end-customers.
This reduction 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 LLU.
Typically some ISPs may choose to pass the savings on, while others will not. There are already a few that have absorbed connection costs to such a degree that further reductions may be unlikely.
