BT has many years of experience in providing UK communications companies with a comprehensive range of wholesale products, services and solutions.

Created 5 years ago, BT Wholesale continues this commitment and provides a dedicated focus within the BT Group to support all of our wholesale customers. Their numbers have grown considerably since the early days of privatisation and we now count among them virtually every one of the 600+ organisations that are currently operating in the UK communications marketplace – and to ensure we are always meeting their needs we have evolved our product portfolio as the market has transformed and grown.

We have risen to the challenge of new technologies, driving developments to meet fresh customer demands and creating new products to address the fast-converging marketplace. We have encouraged and facilitated greater market competition by opening up our network to all Communications Providers through Local Loop Unbundling (LLU – now available through Openreach) and by giving them the means to choose how best to deliver their services to their customers.

So today our portfolio features more than 3500 items: from single components to total end-to-end managed services. From products and services for our customers’ own operational and business use to ‘white label’ solutions that they can market under their own brand to achieve their growth ambitions.

And it’s a portfolio that’s growing still. We recognise that ‘innovation’ is the 21st century business imperative. That’s why we’re the prime mover behind the creation of 21CN – the UK’s 21st century network – and why we’re constantly monitoring – and anticipating – market trends, listening to our customers’ feedback and developing new ideas to provide you with all you need to meet the challenges of new markets and new opportunities, sharpen your competitive edge, reduce your cost base and attract and inspire new customers.

We’re confident that few other organisations in the UK market can match our heritage or the quality, depth or breadth of the experience and expertise we offer at BT Wholesale. Become our customer, share it and you too can find greater success.

Delivering any data, anywhere, anytime, EdgeCast is the world's fastest and most reliable content delivery network.

The EdgeCast network was designed to provide the fastest, smartest content delivery on the planet.  And according to the independent experts, we did exactly that, consistently ranking among the top-performing CDNs in the industry.
