BT Revises Wholesale ADSL Prices
Posted: 20th Jan, 2004 By: MarkJ
BT Wholesale will, from 1st May 2004, revise the pricing discount schemes for its main wholesale broadband ADSL products (IPStream [BT] and DataStream [non-BT]):
CHANGES TO BT WHOLESALE BROADBAND DISCOUNTS
BT is to revise the pricing discount schemes for its main wholesale broadband products, with effect from May 1. The move follows detailed discussions with telecoms regulator Oftel, which last year expressed concerns about the format of existing schemes.
The revised schemes will be common across BT IPStream and BT DataStream products* and will be based on wholesale customers' actual volume of orders, measured monthly, rather than on their own forecasts of future annual spending as in the past. Another key change will be that the discount will not apply to a customer's entire buy once a threshold is hit, but only to the portion above the threshold. At the same time, two of the three levels of discount will be increased - from 1 per cent to 1.5 per cent and from 1.5 per cent to 1.75 per cent. The top discount rate of 2 per cent will remain the same.
The net effect of the changes to the discount schemes will be largely neutral.
A BT spokesman said: "We have looked closely at the way our discount schemes are structured and believe these revisions make good sense."
For BT IPStream, the first level of discount will kick in at a monthly spend of about £166,000, for BT DataStream at about £103,000.
