BT near to testing 8mb Broadband Monday, October 17th, 2005

 

On Friday BT announced the next trial phase for its ADSL broadband Max service, which will deliver downstream line speeds of up to 8 Mbit/s. Commencing at the end of November, the trial will lay the foundation for the intended commercial launch of higher speed broadband services across the UK by Spring 2006.

The trial will allow participating service providers to offer end-customers the fastest broadband service their line can reliably support with rate-adaptive downstream line speeds of up to 8 Mbit/s. BT intends to provide these services
nationwide from all broadband enabled exchanges in the UK following the successful conclusion of the trials.
