Openreach has announced almost £100m ($131m) of price cuts, which will dramatically reduce what it charges TalkTalk and other providers to offer superfast and ultrafast broadband. Millions of superfast and ultrafast broadband users could benefit from significant price cuts after BT said it would cut almost £100m from what it charges rivals to use its network. The company said that the average cost for a broadband connection in England had fallen by more than half since 2010, with its cheapest plans now starting at just £1.99 per month. The news comes as the government revealed a target for ultrafast broadband networks to be rolled out nationwide within 15 years.
