Re: Does an upgrade mean THAT much real speed increas?
The majority on cable get the speeds they pay for or very close to them. Those that don't can get absolute dross and it can last for months.
Oversubscription if/when it happens causes big speed variations. There is no prioritisation by product so if a 10Mbps user starts seeing really bad speeds those on the higher products may well see the exact same low speeds (assuming they are all on the same DOCSIS3 channels) but of course the periods when they get higher will be free to range up to their product speed limit so will get a higher average speed.
The price increment for higher speeds need not be much if you go through retentions - I moved from 10 to 60 for an extra £2.50. At least one other poster here got 100 for not much more.
Don't forget that the higher packages come with a higher cap before you get hit by STM.
You'll eventually get 20 or maybe 30 for free anyway.
