With Fibre Optic cable Broadband you will get or at least be very close to the speed you pay for.
With a BT line it depends how far you live from the exchange as to waht speed you get.
I would not be happy paying for an "up to" 20 meg service and only getting say 3meg due to line length and quality.
When i lived in Leeds, i lived about 2 miles from the BT exchange and got 1meg which was not that long ago and lets face it, 1meg is well slow these days.
