Millions of Sky, TalkTalk and BT broadband users are getting a massive speed boost

Openreach says it will start its ramp up to four million premises a year with immediate effect so customers should begin seeing quicker downloads soon.

“BT is already building more full fibre broadband to homes and businesses than anyone else in the UK. Today we are increasing our FTTP target from 20 million to 25 million homes and businesses to deliver further value to our shareholders and support the Government’s full fibre ambitions,” said Philip Jansen, Chief Executive, BT Group

“This has three massive benefits: it allows us to go faster, beefing up our capacity to build fibre to households and businesses; it allows us to go further, getting fibre to more people including in rural communities, and; it will help fuel UK economic recovery, with better connectivity and up to 7,000 new jobs.”
