I believe you are referring to the standard 17Mb speed though?

Yeah but as you said, it's expired so a moot point to make really

Just want to say 2e tried swapping to BT from sky earlier this year and through BT messing up 4 times we had no Internet for 2 months. We are still in discussions with the ombudsman over it and I would not recommend them at all. Yes the price tempts us but your stuck with idiots for 2 years.

All provider will give bad service to a percentage of their customers. They will all use openreach as their scapegoat for everything too. Personally I would say if it aint broke don't fix it. IF you want to switch for a cheaper price its quite simply the risk you take unfortunately that things may not go smoothly.

About 100 quid more over 12 months than last week. As offers change weekly probably worth waiting till they change again.

it isn't really fibre and is no where near 52mbps for most people, yet BT still get away with it, unbelievable

I agree that VDSL shouldn't be sold as fibre, but neither should coax based services.
I get around 6mbps on adsl services.
I'm not particularly close to the cabinet, but my line is still easily good enough to provide the advertised rate.
And they do give an estimate of the speed your line should be capable of.
stats from my router:-
Data rate:
9.99 Mbps / 55.00 Mbps
Maximum data rate:
19954 / 70183
The speedtest is slightly impaired by the slow PC I'm using

BT guarantee the speed, or at least they have with me when I signed up last week. If it doesn't hit the 52 then I can terminate the contract.

How long is your line or what's distance along roads to your cabinet? Maybe its so close they guaranteed.
More likely they are just quoting standard cooling off period

I have no idea. It just says this in my order email:
"How fast will it be?
We estimate your download speed will be between 54Mb and 55Mb, and your upload speed will be between 9Mb and 10Mb.
The minimum guaranteed speed you can expect from your broadband will be 50Mb.
For the next ten days or so, your broadband speed might go up and down while we try to find the best speed for your line. You can help by leaving your BT Home Hub on all the time. Find out more about the speed of your broadband."

£303.87- £125 = £178.87
178.87/12 months = £14.90/month
