BTs 1,058,000 Broadband ADSL Lines
Posted: 31st Jul, 2003 By: MarkJ
BT has published its latest first quarter financial results to 30th June 2003 and revealed that it now has an impressive 1,058,000 broadband ADSL lines installed, with roughly 25,000 new connections per week. Thats a 127% increase over the same period last year:
A major broadband milestone was passed in the first quarter. The initial target of one million wholesale broadband connections was achieved in early June, ahead of the target date. The challenging target had been set in February 2002 when BT had only 143,000 connections.
There was an installed base of 1,058,000 ADSL lines at June 30, 2003 and at the end of the quarter weekly orders were in excess of 25,000, a 127 per cent increase compared to the end of the first quarter last year.
At June 30, 2003 ADSL broadband was available to 71 per cent of the country. In July, trigger levels were set for a further 500 exchanges under the innovative demand registration scheme, which means that if the demand is there, ADSL broadband will be made available to 90 per cent of UK homes and businesses.
Both BT Broadband and BT Openworld Broadband continue to perform strongly in the marketplace with a combined customer base of 536,000 at June 30, 2003. This represents 51 per cent of BT Wholesale's total ADSL connections.
