BT Nears 2.5Million Broadband Users
Posted: 20th May, 2004 By: MarkJ
BT has today revealed its preliminary results for the year ended 31st March 2004. Interestingly the total number of BT's broadband end users is fast approaching 2.5 million!:
Broadband
There was an installed base of 2.45 million Wholesale broadband lines by May 14, 2004, an increase of 162 per cent on the number of connections 12 months ago, with net additions in the quarter growing at more than 35,000 per week. The increasing base is reflected in a 112 per cent increase in broadband revenues to £165 million in the quarter which brings the full year revenue to £491 million, an increase of 107 per cent over last year.
During the fourth quarter, BT announced four cutting-edge consumer broadband products and services called Flexible Bandwidth, BT Rich Media, BT Communicator and BT Remote Management System. These services will provide our customers with additional capabilities from broadband and stimulate further take up.
On April 27, 2004, we announced the roll out of ADSL broadband to a further 1,128 exchanges by no later than Summer 2005. This will help bring broadband to exchanges serving 99.6 per cent of UK homes and businesses, compared to the current coverage of 90 per cent. This will give the UK one of the most extensive broadband networks in the world.
Sadly the operator says next to nothing about its dialup coverage.
