BT’s Broadband Service in UK Touches New Milestone
As per the latest news the customer base of BT broadband has touched a new height of four million customers mark. It is observed that this is certainly an achievement in the present competitive market. According to an observation by BT, more than 75% of the broadband connections in UK run on BT’s network.
During 2002 BT had only 172,000 broadband customers, that has now grown to four million . An analysis will show that the rate of growth is at 2000 new connections per day. If one considers the total broadband growth in UK, it will not be an exaggeration to say that one new connection is being taken at every 40 seconds.
More than 50% of the UK residents have broadband connections at home. Still there is a big scope for broadband growth in the country.
In the stiff competition that prevails at present, BT is making attempts to dominate the scene. Now they have launched a free digital TV service under the name BT Vision. This service is available to all BT Total Broadband customers. The users can view 40 free Digital TV channels apart from the pay-to-view programmes.
