BT Wholesale to trial broadband at up to 18Mbps

a.. Plan to start a trial in April 2005, whereby lines capable of 2Mbps
now,
will be used to deliver whatever speed the line is capable of between 2Mbps
and 8Mbps. Product launches should hopefully be in the Autumn of 2005.
a.. An initial trial of ADSL2+ technology to support speeds up to 18Mbps.
This trial is in response to the recent proposals to alter the Access
Network Frequency Plan (ANFP) to permit the use of ADSL2+ in BT's copper
network.
