BT Retail

We have grown our broadband and TV services and reduced line losses, while improving efficiency and reducing customer complaints. However, the economy has affected the SME market in particular. We remain focused on reducing costs and have consistently delivered reductions in our cost base by simplifying, standardising and automating processes.
