Stars
EE 5G Mobile Services
EE 5G Mobile Services is a Star in BT Group’s BCG matrix: as of Q4 2025 EE leads UK 5G coverage at ~85% population reach and ~70% geographic coverage, driving strong service revenue growth (5G ARPU up 18% YoY to £39 in H2 2025).
Standalone 5G adoption and demand for high-bandwidth plans for streaming and gaming push segment growth ~22% CAGR 2024–2027, but capex remains high—BT’s mobile capex was £2.1bn in FY2025 largely for spectrum and masts.
EE’s market share (~37% mobile subscribers, 2025) and scale make it BT’s primary engine for future value despite heavy investment needs and margin pressure from network roll-out.
Openreach Full Fiber FTTP
By end-2025 BT’s Openreach Full Fiber (FTTP) has passed critical mass with ~8.1m premises passed and 3.9m customers, cementing BT Group as the UK infrastructure leader in fibre.
The FTTP segment sits in the BCG Matrix as a star: high growth—UK full-fibre market growth ~28% CAGR 2023–25—and BT’s continued capex of £2.7bn in 2024–25 drives expansion.
High wholesale share ~65% of fibre wholesale keeps most ISPs dependent on Openreach, sustaining strong cash generation and strategic control during the copper-to-fibre transition.
Global Cybersecurity Solutions
BT Group’s Global Cybersecurity Solutions sits as a Star: enterprise demand for managed security rose ~22% YoY in 2024, driven by a 54% increase in cloud-security spend across UK/EU firms; BT Business reported security revenue growth of ~18% to £760m in FY2024, leveraging its 2024 global network footprint (55 countries) to deliver integrated detection, response, and cloud-protection at scale.
Managed SD-WAN and SASE Services
Managed SD-WAN and SASE sit in Stars: market growth ~22% CAGR to 2028 and BT’s 2024 managed SD‑WAN revenue rose ~18% y/y, reflecting enterprise migration from MPLS to cloud-native, secure edge models.
BT captured significant share via vendor partnerships (Cisco, Palo Alto Networks) and reported in 2024 that SASE contracts grew >40%, driving higher ARPU and longer-term managed services margins.
- Market growth ~22% CAGR to 2028
- BT SD‑WAN revenue +18% y/y in 2024
- SASE contracts +40% in 2024
- Partners: Cisco, Palo Alto Networks
Cloud Connectivity Services
BT's Cloud Connectivity Services rank as Stars in the BCG matrix: they link enterprises to AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, handling ~40% of BT's enterprise cloud traffic and supporting 18% y/y revenue growth in the segment through 2025.
Demand for dedicated cloud on-ramps is rising—global cloud WAN spend grew ~22% in 2024—so BT's reliability and enterprise footprint position the segment for continued high growth and market leadership.
- Bridges major hyperscalers: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud
- ~40% of BT enterprise cloud traffic
- Segment revenue growth ~18% y/y (2025)
- Global cloud WAN spend +22% in 2024
Connectivity & Security Powerhouse: 5G, FTTP, SD‑WAN/SASE Drive Strong Growth
Stars: EE 5G, Openreach FTTP, Security, SD‑WAN/SASE, Cloud Connectivity drive high growth and share—EE ~37% subs (2025), 5G ARPU £39 (H2 2025), FTTP passed 8.1m premises (end-2025), security rev £760m (FY2024), SD‑WAN rev +18% (2024), cloud traffic ~40% of enterprise; capex FY2025 mobile £2.1bn, fibre £2.7bn.

Cash Cows
Standard Fiber-to-the-Cabinet Broadband
FTTC (fiber-to-the-cabinet) remained BT Group’s largest cash cow in 2025, with ~7.8m retail FTTC lines across BT Consumer and Openreach delivering ~£1.1bn EBITDA annually; subscriber churn is ~6% and ARPU ~£28/month, so margins stay high with minimal marketing spend.
Wholesale Copper Access Services
Wholesale Copper Access Services still serve about 4.5 million lines in the UK (Ofcom 2024), generating roughly 200–300m GBP EBITDA annually; with the network largely fully depreciated, most rental revenue drops to profit.
This high-margin cash cow funded ~35% of BT Group plc’s 2024 dividend outlay and materially eases interest coverage for net debt ≈ 15.3bn GBP (FY 2024).
BT Business Fixed Voice
BT Business Fixed Voice delivers stable cash flows: in FY 2024 BT Group reported fixed voice revenue of about 1.1 billion GBP, reflecting high market share in UK business landlines but single-digit annual decline as customers shift to IP-based services.
Consumer Pay-TV Packages
EE TV and BT TV sit as cash cows in BT Group’s BCG matrix: in the mature UK pay-TV market they supply steady monthly ARPU of about £28 per subscriber and contributed roughly £540m revenue in 2024, driven by bundling with fibre broadband that sustains loyalty.
The services see low subscriber growth—UK pay-TV fell 2.5% in 2023—yet churn for bundled customers is ~12% versus 22% for non‑bundled, so TV packages help retain broadband customers and protect lifetime value.
Not a high-growth segment, BT TV provides predictable cash flow and funds investment in growth areas like full-fibre roll-out and EE mobile convergence, while margin pressure from streaming rights remains a cost headwind.
- ARPU ~£28 (2024)
- Revenue ~£540m (2024)
- Bundled churn ~12% vs 22%
- UK pay‑TV -2.5% (2023)
EE 4G Mobile Contracts
EE 4G Mobile Contracts remain cash cows for BT Group at end-2025: ~18m UK 4G subscribers generate steady ARPU around £20–£25/month, with incremental EBITDA margins north of 45% because network capex is largely sunk and churn sits near 1.1% monthly.
- ~18m 4G subs
- ARPU £20–£25/mo
- EBITDA margin >45%
- Monthly churn ~1.1%
- Low incremental capex
BT Group cash cows 2024–25: FTTC, wholesale copper, BT TV & EE 4G fund dividends
FTTC, wholesale copper, BT Business fixed voice, BT/EE TV and EE 4G are BT Group cash cows in 2024–25, collectively funding dividends and capex with high EBITDA margins: FTTC ~£1.1bn EBITDA (7.8m lines), wholesale copper ~£200–300m EBITDA (4.5m lines), BT TV revenue ~£540m (ARPU £28), EE 4G ~18m subs (ARPU £20–25, EBITDA margin >45%).
| Asset | Metric | 2024–25 |
|---|---|---|
| FTTC | EBITDA / lines | £1.1bn / 7.8m |
| Wholesale copper | EBITDA / lines | £200–300m / 4.5m |
| BT TV | Revenue / ARPU | £540m / £28 |
| EE 4G | Subs / ARPU / EBITDA% | 18m / £20–25 / >45% |

Wholesale Copper Access Services still serve about 4.5 million lines in the UK (Ofcom 2024), generating roughly 200–300m GBP EBITDA annually; with the network largely fully depreciated, most rental revenue drops to profit.
This high-margin cash cow funded ~35% of BT Group plc’s 2024 dividend outlay and materially eases interest coverage for net debt ≈ 15.3bn GBP (FY 2024).
BT Business Fixed Voice
