BT To Double SDSL Coverage
Posted: 07th May, 2004 By: MarkJ
Within the next few months BT will double their symmetric (SDSL - same speed both ways) broadband coverage by upgrading a further 150 exchanges to support the technology:
The telco has asked Internet service providers to name the areas in Britain where they believe there is strong demand for SDSL.
This approach differs from BT's tactic for managing the rollout of ADSL. BT has asked individuals to express their interest in ADSL via a Web-based demand tracker.
"Customers who want SDSL should tell their service providers, and the service providers will then tell us," explained a BT Wholesale spokesman. ISPs have until 14 May to respond to BT.
ISP Eclipse Internet points out that the greatest fault with SDSL is not so much the technology, but rather the poor level of promotion surrounding it. More @ ZDNet.
