The agreement provides the Post Office with a suite of broadband and converged services from BT Wholesale’s white label managed services portfolio. These new services will underpin the Post Office’s plans to launch a new and enhanced communications service later this year and upgrade its existing 400,000 telephony customers seamlessly to the new service.

The service will combine high speed broadband and telephony, as well as customer equipment and applications such as web-based email and anti-virus protection. BT is also supplying online and telephone based customer service and support.
