BT's offer to avoid this happening is discussed in a few places and is standard for BT. Offer a 'carrot' and save the legal action 'stick' for just in case.
Basically they say they will deliver a minimum of 5-10Mb nationwide should Ofcom request it.

Saw this in a couple of the usual places this morning.
Taking my own oft-discussed connection as an example (8km, pole mounted, EO line, currently delivering 2.25Mb on a very good day), what sort of tech would Openreach have to put in place in order to give me minimum 5Mb, and at what cost?
In other words, how likely are they to actually make good on any of this?
