About BT.A

BT Group Plc is the incumbent telecommunications operator in the United Kingdom with the largest fixed-line network in the country. The company builds, maintains, and operates mobile networks for both consumers and businesses.

BT Group has multiple brands under its umbrella. BT Open Reach operates independently as a separate entity due to regulatory restrictions. However, it remains 100% owned by the company and is currently on track to provide Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) to 90% of British households by 2026.

Its consumer-facing brands include EE, BT, and Plusnet. These offer a wide range of mobile, broadband, landline, TV, live sports, and gaming services. Its global business-facing division works with companies and governments to integrate, secure, and manage network and cloud infrastructure.
