52Mbps probably reflects the average FTTC connection speed  :lol: yeah maybe on MDWS but not across the whole of the UK

YES! Right here we go!

So, does that mean everyone's lines get reset to 52 Mbps on Infinity 1? :D

Would an upgrade to this new speed get a line reset by any chance

Seems they announced it at 15:50 this afternoon.   Missed seeing it in my mailbox.  :-[

This bit seemed a bit odd at first :

BT will have the fastest standard fibre speeds in the country at 52mb

Presumably based on the fact they are the only ISP to abandon 40/10 in favour of the 55Mbps product.
Pricing looks like it will stay the same @ £10 pm 12 month contract + £17.99 line rental.

I'd hope so! I wonder if it's automatic?

According to the graph from OFCOMs Infrastructure report, it showed that it was somewhere around 55Mbps.
Which is why wombat and I were discussing that Openreach could possibly opted to provision the new product at 55Mbps rather than 60Mbps (halfway between the 2 existing products).

According to a graph by wombat 92% of users in the UK only get 38Mbps

10 Mbps as per usual! But, what I'm wanting to know is do we need to enter a new contract or will all lines by put onto the new service tomorrow?

Unfortunately I think you may have misunderstood, it says that 92% can get 38Mbps or more.. not that 92% can only get 38Mbps.

Linky to thread with graph

The product is 55/10, which should mean migration to a new product and a DLM reset.

It is highly unlikely that existing accounts will be put on the service tomorrow (read zilch chance).   Accounts will need to be upgraded for which there will be a modify fee, which is normally £10.   However I note that from next month Openreach are running some special offers for bulk modify orders

Bulk Modification of FTTC to higher speed Bandwidths       23/05/2016          0.20

If, and I repeat if BTretail/consumer decide to upgrade their existing accounts they will incur the modification fee and have to pay extra to Openreach for monthly port costs.   There is no way they can pass all accounts over in one day - usually bulk migrations are completed over a period of several weeks.   In the past its not unknown for them to retain accounts on legacy products until the customer asks for the upgrade. 

I imagine BTretail could be swamped with requests, but I suppose it depends how well the General Public are aware of what they are doing. 
They certainly wont do any higher speed modifications in bulk now, if they know that from May its only going to be 20p per line.
