they arent forcing you to change

Thanks craigj2k12 ;)

From reading this thread (though not all of it in every detail!) I thought 100M was only to be supported with the Super Hub by policy - so I'd assumed these automatic upgrades would also, by policy, require a switch to Super Hub?

When the further upgrade to 120Mbit happens you will need a SuperHub to get the upgrade

Thanks Ben - clear as always.

I dont know how big the shared capacity is at the exchange level but my guess is it is bigger than 200mbit as the adsl backhauls were getting above that anyway apart from on the small exchanges.

FTTC exchanges are generally fed with at least 10Gbps.

How much of that is available to you is dictated by the retail ISP, BT sell paths in multiples of 155mbps and it is up to the ISP to manage contention by buying enough capacity. Course capacity does sometimes run out both at the ISP and core backhaul level but a congested 10Gbps pipe is far better than a congested 0.2Gbps pipe.

Most of the BT complaints will be about their ADSL services. As you say not a lot of Infinity customers yet so the service could deteriorate - if it ever gets as bad as my VM one I'll move on from that too (although to what I don't know) or maybe take up knitting.

Infinity customer numbers are catching up fast with VM's "superfast" customers.

Past evidence has shown that average speeds have been consistently increasing for the 18 months to last November despite rapid growth.
