Not really, it was BT retails policy, there were ISPs accepting sub 15Mb orders long before BT retail started to.

So if you get ADSL you then not on infinity.
Sub 15Mb orders are still FTTC (VDSL2). Just becasue they don't call it Infinity doesn't mean it's ADSL.

Indeed, I've seen a few people quoted sub 15Mb and actually end up with 30+ so a low estimate isn't always a bad thing either.

Not entirely true, I've had the Home Hub survive resyncs and my own router without adjusting the timeout. Increasing the timeout could increase the chances of it holding on but it's not necessary. If it's SRA and not a full modem or DSLAM reboot chances are it'll hang on. Even so I would recommend using your own router over a HH in any case.
