BT is aiming to push its broadband speeds up, announcing a new 20Mb service and doling out its own “BT Broadband accelerator” which it claims will boost speeds in your home by 1.5Mb. Keep reading to see just how BT’s planning on making your surfing sessions speedier.
With a new 20Mbps offering, BT is hoping to slap down Virgin and its superfast fibre optic broadband service. Punters who get their current 8Mb deal will be able to get involved at no extra cost, with packages kicking off at £7.78 for the first three months.

On top of that the phone giant is also launching the BT Broadband Accelerator, which it says will push speeds up by 1.5Mb in the home. If you have more one phone socket, plug it into your main one and it’ll apparently reduce electrical interference.It all sounds promising, but as with all broadband boosting ideas, it’s worth taking things with a pinch of salt. BT is saying, however, that you’ll be able to get better speeds as 549 telephone exchanges around the country will serve up faster internet, covering 55 per cent of the UK by March 2010.
