Mentioned in Openreach R3050 EIP3 is the possibility of a 55/10 FTTC (and FTTP option). I suppose that would be better value for people who wouldn't want to pay for up to 80 when they can only get 50, but still want the best speed they can get and wouldn't want to go down to 40.

I think the new slowest FTTC speed option of 15/2 or 18/2 has already been mentioned elsewhere, and must be aimed at getting more people off ADSL from the exchange and onto FTTC.

that 15/2 I believe is used by bt retail when the FTTC estimate is really bad, so they dont damage their normal infinity product stats.

I don't think the 15 or 18 Mb Openreach FTTC option exists yet, otherwise they wouldn't be doing a trial/pilot.

15Mb/s product trial

• Around 2m lines get below 3Mb/s of which ~900k can get FTTC today
• Trial, end customers getting under 3Mb/s in FTTC footprint, selected trial geographies expected to cover 400k lines, 6 month trial to understand demand.

So currently BT just do Unlimited Faster Broadband on a 40/2 profile?

Don't think so as I am with BT unlimited and profile is 40 - 10

Unlimited Broadband with BT Infinity 1
 

[Dray]

Infinity 1 is a different product to Unlimited Faster Broadband.

They might even put Unlimited Faster Broadband on 40/10

Do people think BT retail are using something special not available to any other ISP for Unlimited Faster Broadband? I thought they were just selling the standard 40/10 or 40/2 under a different name.

I'm on bt unlimited faster broadband and mine is 40/2.
