The service offers a single business more bandwidth than was used at the highest peak for the entire Olympics media network.
The 10Gbps trial is in use at electronics business Arcol UK Ltd, where it runs in tandem with the company’s existing 330Mbps service on the same fibre cables. The UK’s current broadband average is approximately 12Mbps.
BT says the "proof of concept trial" uses new fibre technology called XGPON (Tens of Gibabits on a Passive Optical Network) developed by Chinese electronics company ZTE, in partnership with BT Openreach.
Arcol is connected by a direct fibre link from its offices to BT’s exchange in Truro, and is the first business in the country to use the record-breaking speeds. Such 'fibre to the premise' connections, however, are essential for such services and remain relatively rare.
BT hopes that the demonstration will show that existing cables can be used to provide far faster speeds than are currently available. Upgrading exchanges and users’ equipment could be enough to make a major difference, the company claims.
