BT BUSINESS LINE

[Russell griffiths]

So today openreach where out in the street putting a new cable up the poles in front of our place, being a nosey bugger I went and asked what it was. 

Turns out it’s a new fibre cable. 

 

But only getting rolled out to business users. 

Ok that’s cool we will be running a business from the new house so not a problem 

does anybody have a business contract and what sort of costs are involved 

i do intend phoning BT but thought it would be good to have some info before I get told a load of bs. 

Cheers all.

I think anyone with FTTC can order FTTP and they will quote to provide it at some cost. I'm guessing they are just making it easier in some areas where there is high demand..

or perhaps they are just replacing old cables in your area.
