Sky cliams BT cuts are damaging broadband

BT was accused of damaging broadband services around Britain by Sky as it failed to invest enough in network maintenance.

Sky addressed that the telecoms giant BT led to “unacceptable levels of faults and service problems that continue to impact consumers and business” as its spending cuts.

BT faces much pressure from Sky and Talk Talk divide its Openreach fixed-line network into a separate operation to enhance competitive power in the market.

Sky’s chief strategy officer Mai Fyfiled told The Telegraph that BT did not prove the effective evidence concerning the benefits of vertical integration and the risks of separation.

BT only claimed that it would have invested £ 2.5bn in the debut of the fibre. However, it made fundings in part by cutting spending on other important parts of network. Its service quality and reliability has been questioned as a result.

Regarding to Sky’s query, BT made its own explanation. It claimed that no investments have been diverted away from Openreach. It has been investing £10.5bn into Openreach in the past 10 years, according to the statement of Sean Williams of BT.

There is also related news about BT from the figures of Sandvine survey. It claims the application of BT comes to a lower point. Its traffic steam in Europe dropped down under 10%, and there is also obviously decline in Asian regions.

Ofcom considers Openreach will be a BT division for its development due to the row has upgraded.
