Pure Telecom today announced that it has signed a multi-million euro contract with BT Ireland. The agreement will see Pure Telecom offer broadband and phone services to 1.8 million potential customers via BT Ireland’s nationwide infrastructure network.  

BT Ireland’s 4,300km multi-gigabit fibre network extends Pure Telecom’s countrywide reach and will allow it to offer broadband to a greater number of hard-to-reach rural premises as fast. This year Pure Telecom won the Best Broadband accolade at the bonkers.ie National Consumer Awards 2018.

Commenting on the deal, Director of Wholesale and Strategy at BT Ireland, Peter Evans said, “We are delighted to partner with Pure Telecom in extending the reach of high speed broadband across the country. BT has a unique role in the market in that we are the only access agnostic provider of wholesale broadband services. It is this position, coupled with our extensive network reach and speed to market, which makes it easy for communication providers to work with us and deliver on their commitment to their customers."

CEO at Pure Telecom, Paul Connell added, "This latest deal is of strategic importance to both Pure Telecom and BT Ireland and could grow to up to €20 million over the coming years.  BT Ireland has an extensive network across Ireland and we are delighted to be partnering with them. BT Ireland is a trusted provider in the Irish telecommunications sector and will help us to broaden our reach across the country and support an increasingly technology-driven population."
