They split their services up between residential, business, and custom / special offerings. All telcos should be required to have a consolidated schedule of landline charges so that obsolete pricing can be spotted and dealt with in a fair manner. <br /><br />Also, what is BT trying to hide with this announcement ? Is it perhaps that sections of their network are grossly obsolete (e.g. party lines) ? Is it perhaps that their backhaul is locked into a metro-to-metro model and lacks tapping points along the way ?MB94128https://www.blogger.com/profile/04494572766051396972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694598996257651817.post-44155882862169907662011-01-23T01:59:24.390+00:002011-01-23T01:59:24.390+00:00I score this as triple FUD.

If not then this is a lab rat and a smokescreen.<br />3) Other FTTP providers have regular service* Uni-Gig. (1 Gbps) customers right now. So where is BT's residential / small business equivalent ?<br /><br />* Regular service does NOT include a connection suitable for a major business (e.g. Google) or a university.MB94128https://www.blogger.com/profile/04494572766051396972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694598996257651817.post-85366734142001143222011-01-21T06:10:49.271+00:002011-01-21T06:10:49.271+00:00To be fair to BT, FttH is a genuinely positive ste...To be fair to BT, FttH is a genuinely positive step forwards.<br /><br />Sure there is debate to be had about ownership, terms of trade and wotnot.<br /><br />Accelerating and deepening the availability of fibre to homes and businesses is the next step on critical path towards future-proof Digital ServicesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
