BT has announced that it is to extend the availability of its next-generation ADSL broadband service (ADSL2+) to a further 2.5 million homes.
Around 900,000 of these are in rural areas and BT promises that many will see download speeds double.
BT had already pledged to roll out its faster ADSL technology to 80% of the UK and this latest announcement means it will now reach 90%.
