Re: Will VM ever match BT's upload speeds?

Note that there are a few teething problems on the 80/20 service, in particular, some people are being capped at 10mbps upload due to a systems error. This usually solves itself over the first few days with a few modem and router reboots. Unfortunately BT don't let you see your sync speed, though Sky do, and Sky also provide a different service level over the same infrastructure. The fibre infrastructure does provide the ability to guarantee upload speeds, whereas VM's doesn't at all. Incidentally Sky also provide a faster service than BT Retail over the same FTTC infrastructure.
Where are you getting all your information from???
Sky dont let you see sync rates as they use the same openreach modem as bt which is locked meaning you cannot see sync rates without unlocking it. They dont provide faster speeds than bt. Not sure where you got that from either.
And again BT no longer provide a 40/2 service for new customers. They do provide a total broadband option3 which is fibre not under the infinity brand, but that also uses the 40/10 option.
