BT to pump £1.5bn into broadband
15/07/2008 by swordfish.
BT is to invest £1.5bn in fibre optic cables, giving up to 10 million UK households access to faster broadband.
The plans would bring 40% of homes in reach of an ultra-fast service by 2012. BT is also planning to put fibre-optic cable into about 1 million homes, making the service even faster for those customers.
However, the communications group has made clear it will only make the move if regulator Ofcom allows it to get a decent return on that investment.
Remaining customers would be offered broadband speeds of between 40 and 60 megabits a second (mbps), it said.

QBS PC Help comment: A speed increase resulting from this ‘fibre-optic’ upgrade will no doubt be welcomed by online gamers!
