The BT & Sky checkers said we could get up to 50something, so we could have gone for Sky Fibre Pro but I don't think it would have been worth the extra £10 for just another 10Mbps.
You should have asked the engineer to show you the line stats from her JDSU. Quite often the BT estimates are conservative. My line was estimated at 53/10 when they introduced 80/20, but I could see from my hacked modem and engineer tests the line was actually capable of 90/30, so I decided to upgrade on informed basis.

Even without a hacked modem your engineer should have been able to give you the same information so you could make a more informed decision.
