BT, as we all know, is the UK’s number one provider of broadband services. As the Internet started to take off, BT’s heritage as the national telecommunications supplier meant it naturally became the supplier of choice for most businesses and households getting online.
That BT has stayed at the top is quite an achievement. It is almost four decades since deregulation started in 1984, and BT remains the leading provider of broadband in the UK, with just over one third of the total UK market, according to figures from Ofcom. This is not due to a lack of competition. While BT had no real competitors back in 1984, it now has hundreds operating at a national and regional level, providing specialist or focused services and, in many cases, lower prices. Arguably, the broadband market is more competitive than ever.
