The Thinkbroadband guide to FTTC/FTTH gives you a reasonable estimate.

thanks im still in a argument with open reach and the council to why they havent upgraded us its a joke when all of my town has been upgraded but they left us out

At 150 meters you should easily get 80/20, and your attainable speeds should be a lot higher.

That's the norm I'm afraid, there's been lots of posts on here over the last year or so where people's cabinet hasn't been updated, but all around have. Could be for any reason, like planning, blocked ducts, issues getting power and the like.

In my area, my cabinet was in the first phase 2 years ago, another cabinet close to me got it's FTTC cab earlier this year, was supposed to be in my phase, but got dropped for some reason. Then other cabinets close to me are only getting their FTTC cabs just now.

You may be able to get more info from the Openreach NGA team, this FAQ site has an email address you could try.

yeah all the hosuing estate's here have been updated but our estate got left out , apparently we have to be funded buy the council to get our cab updated all the other estate's were done by bt :/
