BT super-fast broadband
BT announced major roll-out plan for the capital’s Olympic and Paralympic games
Londoners are set to benefit from a major roll-out of super-fast broadband, BT announced on June 14. The capital will see huge levels of investment from BT as the company makes London one of the best connected capital cities well in advance of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Under the plan revealed, 87 per cent of homes and small businesses in London will be served by exchanges enabled for fibre broadband by Spring 2011 (large companies already have access to such services on a private basis). As well as announcing its fibre roll-out plan, BT confirmed that the vast majority of homes and businesses in Greater London already have access to much faster copper broadband as well.
