It's more of a target really. Estimated speeds below that get flagged for attention but are not prevented.

Even if you one of the unlucky ones and get around 15meg, the service will still be far superior to VMs 100mbit customer on that program with a filled tbb graph and 0.5meg speeds as well as the high jitter VM service and buffer underrun service (for qas*).

A year or two ago I quoted a study that found most people don't care how fast their connection is, as long as it
just works. Incidentally, my BT connection having stayed online continously for 148 days without a disconnect, suddenly got interleaving bumped on... Presumably so BT can make it continue just working, albeit a bit slower. Reliability, not speed, is what BT tend to prioritize.
But unfortunately these factors (quality, consistency, jitter) are often overlooked in marketing materials in exchange for outlandish or pointlessly vague and generic claims that sound cool to the average consumer...
