From my POV yes there might be an increase but they are still offering well short of what can be delivered without bonding due to not having an interest in the necessary investment to delivery higher upstream services.
Frankly 2.5Mbit isn't good enough, especially with bonding, and it may not even benefit your torrents if it comes with rumoured torrent throttling.
If someone like Be can deliver 2.5Mbit over rubbish copper cables to a percentage of their customer base then imho 1.75Mbit is not acceptable on 'fibre optic' broadband that's leading the broadband revolution and 2.5 isn't really much better either.
Be great to see upstream speed become more of an 'issue' and a competition tool. Up to 20Mbit/1.3Mbit costs less than a tenner a month from O2, and 20/2.5 less than 20GBP.
