Who is BT Broadband?

BT operates the largest residential broadband footprint in the UK on the back of Openreach, the wholesale infrastructure division that runs the copper and fibre network most retail ISPs depend on. As a retail brand, BT sells across FTTC, single-order GEA, and full-fibre FTTP with packages typically ranging from entry-tier Fibre Essential up to Full Fibre 900 and Halo bundles. BT was reorganised so that EE became the consumer-facing premium brand from 2024, and BT itself continues as the mainstream value brand. For switchers, BT is the safe-pair-of-hands default with widely-available coverage, recognised customer support, and the operational backing of the largest UK telco. BT's commercial advantage is incumbent scale, brand familiarity, and bundle reach across mobile, sport and TV through the wider group.

• BT Halo bundles with mobile and TV
