LONDON (Alliance News) - BT Group PLC on Friday said it has launched its new BT Infinity 1 service, boasting the service will offer faster standard speeds than rival Sky PLC, TalkTalk Telecom Group PLC and Virgin Media.
BT said the new service will offer speeds up to 52 megabits per second, allowing them to stream and download content faster.
"Our research has shown that it's what you can actually do with your broadband that matters most to consumers. We want to give them a faster speed as standard so that everyone in a household can be online at the same time and still enjoy watching their favourite YouTube or HD content without buffering or bickering over whose turn it is," said David McDonald, director of broadband, TV and sport bundles for BT Consumer.
"The new, faster BT Infinity 1 service is about giving consumers a premium broadband experience as standard, allowing them to enjoy all the digital world has to offer," he added.
BT shares were down 0.5% to 444.37 pence.
