We connect for good

BT Group plc

Annual Report 2021

Staying

connected

has never been as important

When people connect, there's no limit to the good they can do. Today, that's truer than ever. The connections we make are helping solve the world's biggest challenges such as the global pandemic, climate change and cyber security. Through the power of technology, we're supporting customers to live, work and play together better. In these extraordinary times we are sharpening our focus and accelerating change.

Good for… our customers

EE tops the table

Delivering the best mobile experience remains our priority. Being recognised as the UK's best network for the fifteenth consecutive time reflects our continued investment in keeping our customers connected to the things that matter to them most.

Giving small businesses a boost

Last summer, we launched a support scheme for small businesses that promises to boost their connectivity, cash flow and confidence.

Unbreakable wi‑fi connection

Innovation is at the heart of what we do. Our new unbreakable internet service brings together the combined power of BT and EE's networks.
