We have BT Inifinity at work which is sync'ed at the 80/20 rate. Prior to install BT estimated we would get about 56/15 speeds. In reality no matter how hard we try (even quiet times of day) we get about 73/8, i.e. the download is more than expected but the upload is only just over half the estimated speed and well under half the sync speed. Tried all sorts of speed tests including the BT test site.

Tried to complain but am told we have the max sync speed with no evident errors. The limit on the upload is is down to local network restrictions or other traffic within the network. Also the upload speed in particular is not guaranteed even to their own test site!

So, as they say, the grass is not always greener, etc.

I should say we also have a VM 50 Mb business modem connection of the 50/5 spec. and does hit those speeds, to within 10% to test sites, most of the time.
