Be Un Limited, which is wholly-owned by O2 has announced today that over the next four months it’s network coverage will be increase by 15% of the UK population, providing ADSL2+ broadband to a further 2,000,000 lines. When this stage of the network expansion is complete the Be network will cover 67% of the UK population.

Between now and June 400 exchanges will be unbundled bringing the total number to 1245, making this the most widespread ADSL2+ network in the country offering some of the fastest speeds to internet users.

“This is the next stage in our development at Be as we believe that reliable high speed broadband takes continual innovation and investment,” said Oli White, Head of Marketing at Be Un Limited. “These 400 new exchanges will mean that over 67% of the UK population will be able to experience faster speeds with ADSL2+. But it doesn?t stop there; we are already testing new technologies that will enhance not only the network but our speed.”

As part of the expansion Be will have coverage in both Wales and Northern Ireland.
