That is three times the maximum 100 Mbps speed the company currently offers using the technology and it described the development as a "game changer". According to Ofcom the current UK broadband average is 7.6 Mbps.
BT said it hoped to create a "mass market" for high speed broadband among small and medium sized businesses following trials in Cornwall. The company made the announcement following successful trials of so-called fibre to the premise (FTTP) in St Agnes.
"By December 2014, two-thirds of the country will have access to ultra-fast fibre if they want it" said Mike Galvin of Openreach, part of the BT group. The firm plans to roll out the system starting next year.
