Britain's (UK) biggest property website (i.e. digital estate agent), Rightmove, has reportedly teamed up with BT to list the estimated broadband ISP speeds for 1 Million homes on its website. The data will form a new standard statistic for each home, much like listing the number of bedrooms or parking spaces.


The new data will also state whether or not a house is covered by BT's new 'up to' 40Mbps FTTC based Infinity products. However BT's database does have its limits and fails to include vital coverage information for cable giant Virgin Media UK. BT has refused to comment on the reports, although Rightmove itself have said that they, "are not currently in any form of partnership with BT".

The Telegraph article also quotes our own recent and related survey, which found that half of respondents would pay more for a house with faster broadband (here). Annoyingly they don't include a link back to the site as we have done for them above.
