Good old marketing propaganda, worded by people who are VERY well paid manipulate thoughts with words.
BT have over 6.5 million broadband customers, so I think you are reading something into this that is not there. Take up of 1 million is still only about 15% of this total - even if it doubles between now and the weekend, it would still only be about 30% of BT's BB customer base.

What is missing from this and other reports, is what proportion of that 1 million are NEW customers, and hence bringing in additional revenue to offset BT's £1+ billion investment in this service.
