UK’s BT on track as broadband strengthens

LONDON: BT, Britain’s biggest broadband operator which also owns the EE mobile ⁠network, posted in-line quarterly results, and said its forecast for line losses this year had improved, putting it on track to ‌meet its ‌targets.

BT, which is in the final stages of building its Openreach ‌fibre network across Britain, said on Thursday the network had now reached 21 million premises, and figures showed it was performing better than expected amid tough competition from rival networks such as Virgin Media O2 and CityFibre.
