Broadband Customers Dare Recession To Sign Up With High Speed Broadband Services

UK broadband supplier Virgin Media has claimed that more and more people are now showing interest in using high-speed broadband services, despite the present economical crisis straddling the UK. The statistical data that substantiates this claim is their 57,100 fresh customer sign ups that takes the total customer base up to 3.68 million.

Virgin Media had recently launched its express broadband service that offers an internet accessing speed of around 20Mbps that in its turn has been successful in attracting 1.28 million users. They had also hit a major landmark when they upgraded their 2Mbps subscribers to a 10Mbps service at no charge hike. In the process they had scrapped the entire 2Mbps category from their catalogue. This can be read as a foresightful, as well as shrewd move considering the current regime of the UK is contemplating on bringing broadband to the whole Britain under a base speed of 2Mbps.

Meanwhile, the telecoms regulator of Britain Ofcom has also declared that they would pose no regulatory barriers to the smooth emergence of a broadband infrastructure of super fast internet access. This ruling has obviously occurred as an incentive to BT who is planning to invest GBP 1.5billion in the optic fibre broadband network to enable 20 million British homes high speed internet access. The new technology when developed would realise the broadband speeds of up to 100Mbps. Recently, a 50Mbps service was deployed by Virgin Media that has already emerged as a fair success.

Ofcom, clearly reflecting the government policies and plans has given a statement through its chief Ed Richards that its message for the day is clear that no regulatory barriers will be raised on the path of super-fast broadband investment. He added that although they wanted to encourage investment, they were also keen in ensuring effective and fair competition prevailed in the future.

BT Invest On High-Speed Optic-Fibre Broadband Network

With mobile broadband speeds being boosted periodically, by the ISPs and carriers all over the world, the railings for a similar approach in the fixed broadband segment is also on the rise. It has been a gradual yet significant graph of development for the wired connection that has currently hit the higher internet accessing speeds of broadband from the sluggish dial-up internet connections. With the introduction of fibre optics in the broadband sector, scope for greater speeds are depicted on the horizon. Virgin Media, apart from BT is the other ISP that has launched the service in the UK. At present they are contemplating seriously on a 50Mbps service.

In the present circumstances BT thinks that if only regulator Ofcom gives it the nod to acquire a reasonable return on a colossal investment, it would go ahead with its optic fibre venture. Here, BT is planning to invest GBP 1.5 billion for providing internet access speeds of 100Mbps to up to twenty million homes in the UK. They plan to complete the project by 2012, if Ofcom shows them the green light. The fibre-optic network optimised by BT would be highlighted by the set up of fibre-optic lines to street-side cabinets. The thinktank of BT avers that this would entitle them to offer speeds ranging from 40Mbps to 60Mbps. BT adds that in the end of the day, a million homes would be cherishing fibre to the home at 100Mbps speeds.

On the other hand, although Ed Richards, the Ofcom boss has already indicated that a comfortable environment for BT to realise their project was very much in the mind of Ofcom, the existing barriers to investment will definitely discourage the broadband provider. In the recent past BT had urged the telecom regulator of UK to remove these barriers and hence ensure that anyone contemplating of investing in fibre optics could earn a decent rate in return.

Nevertheless, the plans of BT to lease access to the new fibre-optic network to third-party UK ISPs, in return for pricing freedom with a view to earn good returns on its investment, could stimulate Ofcom. It is worth pondering that at present Virgin Media offers hardly any form of wholesale access. Therefore, many experts perceive that Ofcom’s approval of BT’s new venture is always on the cards.
