Small businesses around the UK will soon be able to benefit from access to faster broadband speeds. The UK's two main broadband network operators, BT and Virgin Media, are close to launching their respective fibre-optic networks, which will enable businesses to take advantage of a wide variety of online services. BT's national internet infrastructure currently provides web services to around 15 million UK premises, compared to the four million served by Virgin Media.
Faster download and upload speeds will be the major benefits of network upgrade work, which has been ongoing throughout 2010.
BT has announced that a number of London communities will be among the first to benefit from its new 40Mbps broadband service. It said that up to 90,000 business premises and households in Parsons Green, Merton Park, Mile End, Skyport and New Cross will be upgraded over the next few weeks.
BT's London regional director, said businesses switching to super-fast broadband "will soon be experiencing the internet as they have never experienced it before. The advent of BT fibre-based broadband in these parts of the capital will support local jobs and the local economy and is a vital part of BT's broadband plans for London."
BT's announcement comes days after rival Virgin Media announced the launch of its 100Mbps fibre service, which will commence in December. The firm will offer download and upload speeds in excess of those offered by any other UK broadband provider, including BT, however they will only be accessible in Virgin-connected streets.
