BT has revealed a range of new measures designed to help consumers in the UK to cope with the coronavirus pandemic.
The company shared: "We're ... removing all caps on your home broadband plans so every customer has unlimited data to use whether working from home, keeping the kids connected to school or streaming the latest films."
The decision to remove caps on broadband is sure to benefit online gamers, some of whom may have experienced slower-than-usual speeds over recent days due to a spike in internet usage.
