I expect BT could do 25mbit/sec upload with 10% of people hitting that speed quite easily now, they seem to have left more buffer on the upstream than downstream in terms of sync speed. But I guess also VM could push for that speed as well on their rollout albeit with the risks of congestion.

BT are now banking on their boring g.fast which I think will be quite a slow rollout for those not near a cabinet.

Personally I would rather see 100/100 then say 300/20 or 300/30 and also of course for me good 24/7 performance with no visible contention is better than say blinding speeds at 4am but a fight with the mob for bandwidth at 9pm.
