My area (stoke on trent) is being upgraded in August. I signed up for 152mb last month and during the day i can get this speed no problem on speedtest.net.

Come the evening, anything after 6pm and speeds drop like a stone, down to 50-80mb/s ,
I believe this is down to over subscription on the UBR, although a cat c was done on the UBR last year.

When an areas getting upgraded do they put more capacity onto the ubr?, if not then speeds are going to get even worse once the upgrade is completed in August.

Im hoping the answer will be more capacity but does anyone know?.
