I was on Homeworks 300 too, but my account page now says I am on Vivid 300. My config is the same Arty's. I generally get a download speed of 386Mb.

As for the upstream achieving 50Mb. Yes, it would be good. Perhaps when DOCSIS 3.1 and 4 bonded upstream channels are applied to the old architecture they may squeeze a bit more up speed out of the system. When I was on the speed trial in Coventry, some years ago, my config was for 30Mb upstream. I maxed at 28Mb.

All new VM areas are on FTTP, ready for new products. Large sections of south Coventry have just been completed, for example. Eventually the massive pull-through and box conversion job of upgrading cable areas to fibre will happen, but some of us will have a long wait.
