BT to Offer 300 Mbps by end of 2013

Sometimes slowly, fixed network access speeds are climbing towards a gigabit standard. 

BT now says it will launch a 300-Mbps service in about 50 exchanges by the end of 2013. Those exchanges already have fiber to home networks in place. 

Existing customers on the fiber to home network will also be able to upgrade to the faster speeds by switching to the £50 "Unlimited" package, which comes without any usage limits and is free from traffic management.
