Could BT Wholesale just be quoting the performance of Bald_Eagle1's line?  :-\   :-X   :lol:

Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a fibre technology with an estimated WBC FTTC Broadband where consumers have received downstream line speed of 39.9 Mbps and upstream line speed of 6.5 Mbps.

@ Coviad,

This statement has to be taken with a pinch of salt !

The checker often used to produce higher figures as that was the result the estimated calculator gave using the new 17a "up to 80 Mbps" profile.
I believe BT then realised that they were making false claims as there is currently a commercial cap of 40 Mbps (Except for trialists).

Kind regards,
Walter
