Openreach line checker 80-20

I believe the openreach line checker is due to change next sunday (29th jan) to reflect the 80 - 20 speeds. Would be interesting if people in enabled fttc areas could post line check results before and after the change...

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 33.4Mbps and upstream line speed of 12.3Mbps.

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 30Mbps and upstream line speed of 5.7Mbps.

It has moved from 24Mbps downstream within the last 2 weeks, so may have been updated already.

I will check again after 29th.

EDIT:
FYI, it moved from 14.6Mbps downstream to 24Mbps a few days after the switch to the 17a profile at the end of October.

I get that for both my enabled line and the non-enabled voice only line. Current sync ... 38716 and speeds around 36Mbps

I think you've unfortunately asked the wrong question.

The estimator has already been updated for 17a, just capped at 40Mbps. All the replies so far are under 40Mbps, even though they may be connecting at that speed - like me on a 28.9 estimate, but my upstream estimate is now above 11Mbps whereas before the estimator change it was well below 10Mbps.

In my opinion the people who have replied so far aren't going to see a further change. Only those with a 40Mbps estimate will.

What anyone connecting at 40Mbps, whatever their estimate, will see is an increase in actual speed. Though maybe not until they upgrade, if that is how their ISP approaches the matter.

I don't believe so, I'm around 200m from the cabinet and the modem reports max speed of over 100Mb. Also have friends who live within 50m of Cabinet and they get downstream results all under 40Mb on the checker.

I think everyone's speed on the checker will rise next weekend.

You're correct.
