<\/p>\n
\n The telecoms giant has agreed to buy TalkTalk\u2019s consumer and wholesale businesses, including PlatformX Communications (PXC), after stepping in to prevent the companies from collapsing.\n<\/p>\n
\n BT said it had acted in a \u201cgenuinely unprecedented situation\u201d that could have put telecoms services for 2.5 million customers at risk.\n<\/p>\n
\n The deal is designed to protect customers from disruption, including vulnerable households and organisations relying on TalkTalk connections for essential services.\n<\/p>\n
\n BT said the agreement will \u201cprotect continuity of service for its 2.5 million customers, avoiding the risk of material harm to vulnerable customers and key emergency services\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n TalkTalk customers include vulnerable people and households, while its network also supports connections used by critical national infrastructure providers.\n<\/p>\n
\n These include organisations across health, emergency services, defence, education, transport, banking and government.\n<\/p>\n
\n The rescue deal will also protect jobs, with administrators confirming that all 900 employees working across TalkTalk\u2019s consumer and broadband business and PXC will transfer to BT.\n<\/p>\n
\n Administrators at Alvarez & Marsal Europe said the sale would see the 900 staff move across to BT as part of the deal.\n<\/p>\n
\n The agreement comes as TalkTalk faced administration, with BT stepping in to secure the future of its consumer and wholesale operations and avoid potentially serious disruption to customers.\n<\/p>\n
\n Recommended reading:\n<\/p>\n
\n The deal is particularly significant because of the number of households and essential organisations relying on TalkTalk services.\n<\/p>\n
\n BT’s intervention means customers should continue to receive telecoms services while the businesses transition to their new ownership.\n<\/p>\n
\n The company said its priority was maintaining continuity of service and protecting customers who could have been particularly affected by the collapse of TalkTalk.\n<\/p>\n
