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

Enjoying speeds 20 times faster than previous connection Saving two hours a day from being able to download large artwork and image files in five

minutes instead of 15 minutes No need to invest in an expensive back-up facility as can now optimise use of the cloud Estimate savings of £7,500 a year on maintaining back-up systems, network and intranet

BT: Connecting up the UK

2.5bn investment to bring superfast broadband to two-thirds of UK premises by end of 2014

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

More than 8 million premises already passed

A mix of fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) and fibre to the premise (FTTP) technology

Connecting c.150,000 premises every week

No other company in the world is investing as much in fibre without public sector support or a regulatory regime that allows for greater returns
