Not everyone is apparently in love with British operator BT’s green boxes. Still, that isn’t stopping the company from serving up its high-fiber diet to those who want to have speedy Internet connections. For its latest project, BT’s Openreach division has started offering an “FTTP on Demand” program that provides fiber-to-the-premises at 330Mbps speeds to folks or businesses who order the service. The project will be done in phases at eight locations, starting with High Wycombe, Bristol South and St Agnes, Cornwall in July. Next up is Edinburgh’s Waverley exchange in September followed by Watford, Cardiff, Basingstoke and Manchester Central in 2013. Communications providers can decide to cover installation costs by absorbing a one-off charge, having higher monthly fees or passing the whole thing to the consumer.
