Connectivity solutions company murphx has added BT's new up to 40Mbps Fibre-to-the-Cabinet ( FTTC ) technology to its portfolio of wholesale broadband products. The group supplies many of the markets virtual ISPs (vISPs) with internet connectivity services, so don't be surprised if we see a few more FTTC announcements over the coming months.


The press release spin talks a lot about the business advantages, albeit without mentioning any specifically residential qualities. This could suggest that murphx's initial FTTC packages will be, like a lot of other early FTTC ISP packages, priced too highly for residential consumers.
