Sorry I personally do not believe these stats from BT/Openreach/the Government!
I work in the telecoms industry and I hear of far too many people who simply do not receive these speeds in practise. E.g. I live less than 30 miles from London (in the Home Counties) - BT have rolled out SuperFast Broadband (FTTC) in our area - but Users can only get 1Mbps download speeds! Was suppose to be 6-8Mbps according to their system pre-installation!
Quite worrying as the original Broadband Service the FTTC replaced, worked at 1.5Mbps! BT/Openreach's answer to address the problem - cancel the Service as they cannot achieve the quoted speeds - might affect their Stats! Luckily Virgin have recently rolled out fibre services in the area and the kids have recently stopped screaming at me for us to move!
Biting the hand that feeds IT
