Migration to LLU now possible

BT Wholesale has
announced a 12 month promotion designed to make it possible for users to migrate
to unbundled (LLU) based broadband services.
LLU operators will benefit from a 42 per cent reduction in the
price for migrating their customers from BT Wholesale's other
broadband products to its shared LLU offering. This latest reduction
in pricing for shared LLU underlines BT Wholesale's ongoing
commitment to making LLU a success, to further stimulate competition
in the UK broadband market.
From 1 July, the price for migrating end-customers from BT
Datastream and BT IPstream to shared LLU with the same operator will
be reduced from £34.86 to £20.00 (ex.VAT). This offer will apply to
LLU operators migrating end-customers in bulk per exchange and will
be available for a period of 12 months.
This special offer follows the 70 per cent reduction in total
charges for shared LLU introduced by BT Wholesale in September 2004.
With the introduction of these price reductions, the UK is now
ranked third in Europe on price comparison for shared LLU. |
| BT statement |
Before you all rush out to switch, there are a few catches... The
first is that it is only available for bulk migrations, which are usually
applied for by VISP's wishing to move their users to different providers, so
unless your ISP is moving to the LLU area, such as
Tiscali,
then individuals miss out.
The other is that you will still retain a BT phone line, while this sounds good
at first, it means than if your LLU supplier provides telephony, such as
Bulldog, then you won't be able to migrate either. So although BT say they
wish to embrace LLU this does sound like a carefully crafted promotion to give this impression, while not really delivering any real benefits.
