BT and Virgin building net generation fibre network across the UK

BT ‘s EE and Virgin’s O2 are busy building net generation fibre networks across the UK.

Both mobile data and broadband from Virgin Media O2 will double the speed of both at no extra charge, while BT is enticing its customers to double up with 10% off broadband deals for EE customers, leaving a squeeze on Vodafone.

Both BT and Virgin can offer cheap deals because they own the pipes, not so for Vodafone which has already a partnership with City Fibre, the third biggest player in the market, as this week they reached one million homes and it is aiming for eight million by 2025 behind BT and Virgin.
