From 21st October 2004 the wholesale connection charge for BT IPStream Symmetric and BT DataStream Symmetric (SDSL - same speed both ways) broadband products will be reduced from £450 to £225 for orders completed by 24th February 2005:
Wally Freeman, BT Wholesale general manager for broadband products, said: "This special offer is designed to stimulate the take up of SDSL services which are still relatively new products and to encourage more of our service provider customers to add SDSL products to their broadband portfolio.
"The reduction in connection charge will build on our recent announcement that we plan to double the number of exchanges where we offer SDSL in the coming months."
Earlier this month BT Wholesale announced plans to increase the number of exchanges offering symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL) broadband from 150 to 300.
SDSL gives the same rate of data transfer upstream as downstream. It is particularly suitable for end-users such as SMEs, people in remote offices and teleworkers who require business-class connectivity to their service provider for applications such as fast file transfer, web hosting and multimedia applications.
