Ignore DOCSIS1 (10 +20) because VM do and you have...

33Mbps nnMbps 104mBPS with nnmBPS costing ~ £7.50 more than 33 and £10 less than 104.

To coin an (idiot) phrase - do the math.

Currently 50Mbps is poor value over 30Mbps imo and if 30Mbps had been announved at the time I'd have taken it when upgrading from 20 rather than upgrading to 50Mbps.

I'd far rather they sorted out the oversubscription issues than pushed headline speeds higher. I was told that my area upgrade was complete but almost immediately it became just about as bad as before - a single 100Mbps high volume user can easily stuff up the current low capacity local pipes. I'm obviously no network genius but I think if asked I could have predicted that no sanctions, unlimited 100/10 on 200/18 pipes would lead to this in some areas. I'd just have hoped I didn't live in one but sadly I do.
