BT Openreach has launched a new microsite that end-users can access to obtain more information on Super-fast Fibre Access (i.e. 40Mbps FTTC and 100Mbps FTTP services) and Broadband Enabling Technology (BET). BET is capable of bringing broadband download speeds of up to 1Mbps (2Mbps if two lines are bonded together) to homes that reside nearly 12km from their local telephone exchange (see the original news for full details).


The website itself - http://www.openreach-communications.co.uk/superfast/ - doesn't tell us much that we haven't already covered before. We also think it’s a bad idea to throw inferior BET services in directly alongside next generation FTTC and FTTP technologies. We can see where BT is coming from but it’s an ugly match, much like the expression of that poor kid depicted on the site itself :cool: .
