BT hikes broadband roll-out target as results in line with expectations

  • BT Group PLC (LSE:BT.A) raised its target for rolling out full-fibre broadband as it posted full-year results that were bang in line with expectations in most measures.  The former telecoms monopoly, which is facing increased competition from 'alt net' rivals, said it is investing in its Openreach arm to build up to 5 million additional fibre premises in its new financial year, targeting 25 million by the end of 2026 and as many as 30 million by 2030.
