BT: Connecting up the UK
2.5bn investment to bring superfast broadband to two-thirds of UK premises by end of 2014
Public-private partnerships could extend fibre to more than 90% of UK premises - BT will match funding if we are successful
This means slow spots could fall to as little as 2% of premises. BT is trialling alternative solutions such as white spaces, wireless and satellite to reduce this even further

The benefits speak for themselves
Having super-fast broadband has opened our eyes to new ways of promoting ourselves to customersRhiannon Fraser, Park Manager“ ” A family-owned holiday and retirement park in Perranarworthal, Cornwall
Experiencing broadband speeds fifty times faster than previous connection Used to drive company accounts to the accountants in Falmouth, now they are emailed almost
instantaneously Installing CCTV cameras over the fast, stable Wi-Fi connection. Before super-fast the only option
was the expensive alternative of digging trenches to fit hard-wired cameras Using their new high-speed wi-fi zone to attract new customers to the site
We can now compete with the bigger guys
but remain leaner and more flexibleSeamus Breslin, Design Manager“ ” A print and design company
