BT slashes wholesale prices by 30 per cent...

UK small businesses may be able to look forward to cheaper broadband prices in 2006, after BT announced significant wholesale price cuts.
BT is cutting the cost of its wholesale SDSL services by 30 per cent. These products are resold to individual firms by ISPs but high prices and limited availability have combined to restrict take-up.
SDSL provides two-way high-speed internet access. It is aimed at small firms and branch offices that want to upload large amounts of data, such as those who host their own email servers and websites. It could also appeal to those who run applications which involve both sending and receiving significant amounts of information, such as videoconferencing.
BT said in a statement: "The lower prices for symmetric broadband will make the service a more attractive option for a wider cross-section of UK broadband users."
