BT has regained it’s lead as the number one Broadband Provider in the UK, passing Virgin Media who had held the top spot for the last year. BT now has 3.7m Broadband users in the UK and 26% of the overall market. What was even more impressive was that BT grabbed 32% of all new customers during the last quarter, despite the huge amounts of money spent by BSkyB and Virgin Media who relaunched in February.
I’m still a Virgin Media customer and I probably will stick with them for a while, as although Virgin Media recently announced Speed capping which hasn’t gone down very well, I don’t think the speed caps are being applied to customers in the old Telewest franchises where the network is superior to the network in the old ntl franchise. What could make me move though is BT Vision, which offers a nice way to get quality programming on demand without having to pay a monthly subscription for junk I don’t want or have time to watch.
