We’re making BT Infinity even faster – at no extra cost!

We’re turning up the speed dial in the broadband battle with speed increases for BT customers at no extra cost. If you sign up to BT Infinity 2 from tomorrow (April 12) you’ll benefit from downstream speeds that are roughly double those on offer today – up to 76Mbps rather than up to 38Mbps. We’re also giving our BT Infinity 1 product a boost by increasing its upstream speed fivefold from up to 1.9Mbps to up to 9.5Mbps.

The speed increases mean we’re helping to achieve the government’s ambition for the UK to have the best super-fast broadband network in Europe by 2015. The high upstream speeds will also be great news to anyone who wants to upload photos, video, graphics or other rich content. From April 12, if you buy a new BT Infinity package, or switch to BT Infinity from another package, you’ll automatically benefit from these higher speeds. If you’re already a BT Infinity customer, you can switch to the faster products by starting a new contract, at no extra cost. BT Infinity is currently available to more than seven million premises across the UK. That figure will rise to ten million in 2012 and then to around two thirds of all UK premises by the end of 2014. BT Group is currently bidding for BDUK funds which could extend the availability of fibre broadband to more than 90 per cent of UK homes and businesses.

The new BT Infinity speeds
BT Infinity 2 downstream speeds roughly double to up to 76Mbps
BT Infinity 2 offers UK’s fastest upstream speeds of up to 19Mbps
BT Infinity 1 upstream speeds to be up to five times faster than before
