At least I have a 10mb service
yeah the install stories are not good, get over the install tho and it seems a great service by comparison as long as you close to the cabinet.

I did some BT wholesale checks on houses on my street.

I am estimated at 60+mbit down and 20mbit up

Go 50 houses away tho and its down to half speed for the down and just 6mbit up. VDSL seems to have a very severe speed drop on distance compared to ADSL. But since there is many cabinets most people will be close to one.
