Exclusive Superfast Broadband Trial
Daisy Wholesale is set to embark on an exclusive technical trial involving superfast broadband speeds.
Working in conjunction with BT Wholesale on its plans to double the download speed of its fibre optic broadband service from 40Mb to 80Mb next year, the leading wholesale provider has invited a small selection of partners to take part in a trial of BT’s new faster FTTC product.
Craig Peterson, Product Manager at Daisy Wholesale, said: “At present, Daisy Wholesale’s FTTC offers download speeds of up to 40Mb, but demand has shown that businesses are still looking for faster speeds, these trials could see the download and upload speeds double to 80Mb and 20Mb respectively”.
“We are looking forward to taking advantage of BT Wholesale network’s to deliver an enhanced Fibre Broadband offering to our customers and have had high demand from our resellers to take part in the trial for these services”
The limited technical trial, which will take place between the 8th and 28th January 2012 is only available in a selected number of exchanges. Existing Daisy Wholesale FTTC customers whose lines met the trial criteria have already been submitted and agreed with BT Openreach.
Peterson explained: “For Daisy Wholesale, this will involve us testing our network and order process ready for an initial rollout in early 2012, a second customer trial will take place between 28th Jan and 31st March when all of the FTTC enabled exchanges will be available, and will be open to additional partners with existing Daisy Wholesale FTTC circuits.”
“This is the opportunity for our partners to engage with their customer base in shaping the way a modern business can collaborate at high speed with remote workers, and other offices. Enhance the meeting environment on line with HD quality video conferencing, VoIP, hosted business applications and cloud computing all benefit from this new faster access technology. These trials will give our partners and end users the opportunity to understand the benefits of superfast broadband in their business in advance of the for the next generation of FTTP products which will offer even greater speeds for those served directly via the exchange.” added Peterson.
