“Ultrafast technology is going to be a vital part of a transformation in the speed that our customers receive. Whether it is six in the evening or six in the morning, with Ultrafast Fibre everyone can be online at the same time, streaming, downloading and gaming.”

“Customers will have complete peace of mind that they can always rely on Ultrafast Fibre, backed up by the promise that we’ll give them £20 if their speed ever falls below 100 Mbps.”

The two new Ultrafast Fibre 1 and Fibre 2 packages will cost t £54.99 and £59.99 a month respectively and both include BT’s new Smart Hub WiFi router.
