Internet service provider BT has confirmed that it will begin rolling out its fibre optic broadband technology to commercial customers next year.
The company's fibre to the home (FTTH) service will be made available for the first time in January 2010, and by early summer the company hopes to have 1.5 million subscribers.
By 2012 BT hopes to have 10 million users of its fibre optic lead driven broadband service, which would account for 40 per cent of the UK population.
Bill Murphy, managing director for BT Business, said: "Key to any successful network rollout is to drive up connectivity and BT is keen to come out with a competitive offering.
"We expect businesses to go for the highest speed on offer. Take up to date for high-speed broadband services has been very good, and there is definitely a demand for speed."
Recently the UK was accused of lagging behind in the fibre optic broadband stakes by ispreview.co.uk.
