Thursday 13 May 2021 | 10:54 CET | News
BT has increased its its total FTTP network build target from 20 million to 25 million premises by December 2026, with Openreach working to connect up to 4 million premises a year. BT said it could fund this increased roll-out from internal resources while still committing to other priorities, including investment in the 5G network, its modernisation programme, supporting the BT Pension Scheme, and reinstating its dividend.
