If we are lucky we will get that higher service for the same price.
Yes - the equipment used in the 200M trial was these modems and the same equipment you are connected to at the moment.

It should be noted though that while the modem is capable of 200M the router VM provided is not.

Do not hold your breath for free upgrades for a long while yet, the router issue slows things down and BT are only doing 40Mbit for the foreseeable future.
