BT Announce Super Fast Broadband Plans
British Telecom broadband has today announced their plans to connect 10 million homes across the UK to their new fibre-optic network. By replacing the copper wiring that link most homes today, BT will have to spend £1.5bn to create the new super-fast network across the UK over the next four years, which when completed will connect 40% of the UK population.
But, alongside BT’s new network comes fears that they will monopolize the market, causing smaller rivals to lose out in the long term. Even though BT insist they want to bring faster internet services to the majority of the UK, it is also feared the new cabling will create a broadband divide between urban and rural areas.
In the more remote parts of the UK where the fibre optic cable will not reach, ADSL broadband will remain, though BT has said it will be improving the service to the 24Mbps ADSL2+. The quickest ADSL currently available is be broadband at 24Meg and O2 broadband at 20Meg. Virgin Media broadband currently runs on the fibre optic network but can only achieve speeds of 20Meg, though their 50Meg broadband should be available out across the UK within the next year.
BT will begin their cabling by laying fibre directly to new homes as they are built, whilst other sites will have fibre cable all the way to their home. BT new system should transform consumer’s internet experience, allowing high-definition video over the internet whilst also running other bandwidth-heavy services.
British Telecom’s chief executive, Ian Livingston, said -
‘This is the beginning of a new chapter in British telecommunications history. Broadband has boosted the UK economy and is now an essential part of our customers’ lives. We now want to make a step-change in broadband provision which will offer faster speeds than ever before’

iPhone Launch Day
Well today’s the day the Apple iPhone has gone on sale in the UK, as well as in 22 other countries around the world. Around 100 people were queuing at the Regent Street Apple store, whilst round the corner, Carphone Warehouse saw almost the same amount of people queuing from as early as 7am.
But what should have been a nice easy day at the office turned into chaos as O2’s in-house system crashed, leaving stores having to process iPhone 3G customers manually. Sources claim software problems linking the Macs in the Apple store to the Windows-based O2 system caused long delays, some customers having to wait up to 4 hours!
One disgruntled customer said -
‘I woke up at 6am and was in queue by 7am, when O2 confirmed the system crash at 9am. I’m now at home waiting for a call from O2 to say when it will be back up and running. And no, I wasn’t allowed to take an iPhone home with me. At least I have it reserved. My local store only had 24 units’
This is the second major setback for O2 in the last week, with their online ordering service also crashing on Monday through weight of demand. Those lucky few who manage to get through and order online will have been looking out of the window this morning waiting for their courier.
The 3G iPhone is not the only new Apple launch today, as existing iPhone owners will no doubt be checking out the release of the new firmware software, iPhone 2.0, that has gone live today with over 500 applications for the touch screen mobile.
Looks like the iPhone mania that’s washing over the world has even managed to infect the companies computers. I was planning to purchase an iPhone myself, but I think I may sit back and watch the show first!

Apple iPhone Pre Order Mayhem
Orders for the latest 3G iPhone have gone through the roof, but if you want one this Friday then you’re going to have to head down to an O2 store, also the Carphone Warehouse offers Apple iPhones.
O2’s online iPhone website received so many enquiries when it was launched yesterday that the server crashed due to the volume of people trying to pre order. Not only did all the 8GB models sell out online, but also all of the 16GB version.
O2 insists it will still be able to meet the demand this Friday, having split its phone stock evenly between its stores and web shop. Those who failed online and are still eager to buy are recommended to get down to their nearest O2 or Carphone Warehouse store from 8am, though there may well be queues.
I myself received a text message yesterday morning from O2 having left my details online about my interest in the iPhone, but decided to hold back and see what happened. It looks like I could be in for a bit of a wait before I get my hands on one!
