BT provision at least a Gig for each 66 customers, they are contractually obligated to provide 15Mb.

Leased lines
should have no contention at any point though of course this isn't necessarily the case.
On FTTC it depends, the operators can purchase as much or as little capacity from Openreach and/or Wholesale as they please. Wholesale do contend, quite heavily, as do BT Retail which is why there's quite aggressive P2P shaping on Infinity, though oddly they don't shape newsgroups.
