BT has announced 41 market towns that will benefit from the next phase of its super-fast, fibre broadband roll-out, serving around 300,000 businesses and consumers across these areas. Customers in these areas will be able to access super-fast broadband speeds of up to 40 Mbps from spring 2012. In December 2010, BT said it would include a number of market towns in the next phase of its fibre broadband project, in response to customer demand for super-fast speeds in these areas and as part of its commitment to delivering faster broadband speeds to more rural parts of the UK. The list of market towns join the 785 exchange locations across the country that BT has already revealed under its fibre roll-out plan to date. These locations serve around eight million premises in total, around half of BT's total fibre roll-out plan.
