FTTC exchanges are generally fed with at least 10Gbps.
How much of that is available to you is dictated by the retail ISP, BT sell paths in multiples of 155mbps and it is up to the ISP to manage contention by buying enough capacity. Course capacity does sometimes run out both at the ISP and core backhaul level but a congested 10Gbps pipe is far better than a congested 0.2Gbps pipe.

Infinity customer numbers are catching up fast with VM's "superfast" customers.
Past evidence has shown that average speeds have been consistently increasing for the 18 months to last November despite rapid growth.
