BT Cuts Own Broadband Supply Costs
Posted: 08th Oct, 2004 By: MarkJ
ADSLGuide reports that BT Central Plus, which is presently only used by BT Yahoo! and Retail's broadband products, has been reduced in price. This may save BT some money, although you can bet that rivals will be keeping a close eye on things:
BT Central Plus - Standard Charging
£102,000 (OLD) £55,500 (NEW)
BT Central Plus - Access (100Mbps) Capacity Charging
£240,000 (OLD) £240,000 (NEW)
BT Central Plus - Internet (100Mbps) Capacity Charging
£102,000 (OLD) £55,500 (NEW)
The price cut of £46,500 on the standard BT Central Plus pricing, sounds large, but once divided between 5000 users it is a change of just 77.5p per month. With the capacity based pricing it is harder to work out the change, since it will depend greatly on the number of users sharing the 100Mbps segment.
It would seem unlikely that BT Retail has much scope for large price cuts, but with the 1,000,000+ customers they have, a saving of perhaps £9.3 million per year will help balance the books.
