Local broadband shops to be opened by BT
High Street will finally get to find out more about the super – fast total broadband service being offered by BT with the opening of 2 shops by BT, where potential customers can go for a full – demonstration of this service.
This unique idea will see the opening of stores in Whitchurch, near Cardiff this week and then in Muswell Hill, North London during the next week.
These stores will be first ever retail stores to be opened in the country which focus exclusively on broadband in the country. They invite people to ‘come in and experience the future of super – fast broadband from BT’.
BT is hoping that these stores, which could see more branches being opened if successful, will be useful in convincing people who don’t have a broadband connection to get one by signing up for it.
The Marketing Director of BT Retail, Matthew Dearden, says that the BT Retail Super – fast broadband shop in Whitchurch is the first of this type of store to have opened in the high streets of Britian, with another shop being scheduled to open in Muswell Hill in London the following week.
This showcase will enable them, according to Dearden, to show the locals everything they need to know about super – fast broadband which is being trialled in that area. These demonstrations, he added, will enable them to see a wide variety of business and home apps which will increase the quality of their lives.
BT Retail have undergone a recent upgrade, enabling it to provide top download speeds of about 20 Mbps. They plan to further install 1.5 million fibre internet connections by next year. This would enable the speeds to go upto 40 and 60 Mbps.
