BT to offer 300 Mbps fibre optic broadband 'on demand' in 2013
Fibre optic broadband connections of up to 300 Megabits per second will be available on demand in 2013, BT says. That is three times the maximum 100 Mbps speed the company currently offers using the technology and it described the development as a "game changer".
The ultra-fast broadband will be crafted with fibre optic connections which will enable the service to render higher efficiency. Consumers wouldn't have to face the unjust situation of paying high tariffs with a really sluggish speed of the internet any longer.
The current scenario is such that the current fibre-based broadband terminates at junctions or cabinets at the end of the road and a copper line connect offices and homes to the junction. BT is going to change all that through is ‘fibre to the premise on demand' service.
The announcement of BT’s new product follows news of high-speed offerings from rivals.
A Virgin Media spokesman said: “We’re about to boost the speeds for millions of people yet again with our doubling upgrade and the introduction of 120 Mbps.
“Having successfully proven 1.5 Gbps on our network last summer, Britain’s broadband is moving in the right direction.”
The UK government wants 90% of UK businesses to be connected to super-fast broadband by 2015.
