BT Wholesale, the business arm of BT Group that sells voice and internet services to UK ISPs, would reduce the wholesale prices of its 24Mb broadband products from January, 2010, according to a report.
The line rental would be same in all areas, at £5.88 per month (previously £7.66 per month).
Monthly bandwidth charge on BT’s WBC platform will slash from £79.34 to £40.00.
Broadband customers who live in market 1 and market 2 areas will see the broadband cost coming down by 29%. Market 1 represents areas which are mostly covered by BT broadband.
Market 3 is represented by areas where customers get access to more broadband service providers, more competitive services and the new prices would benefit the customers in market 3 with a over-all 14 per cent drop in prices.
Earlier, BT revealed its plans to bring its up to 24Mbps ADSL Max (ADSL 2+) broadband to 20 million homes in UK by 2011.
