As I live 1000 meters from my fibre cabinet or there about's and have replaced my internal wiring with copper cat 6 cable, when I first looked on BT Broadband Available Checker my FTTC estimate was 52.6Mbps download and 15.7Mbps upload which didn't seem right as I only get 22-25Mbps download now with the cable replaced. But I have just recently checked again an my estimate has changed to:
High Low High Low
FTTC Range A (Clean) 80 63 20 20 -- Available
FTTC Range B (Impacted)71.7 44.1 20 15.4 -- Available
Which definitely cant be right as if no one one my street get 52.6 Mbps how can BT estimate this speed? I also checked someones else's address a few doors down from my house and they get and estimate what seems right:
High Low High Low
FTTC Range A (Clean) 26.9 19.1 6.1 4.2 -- Available
FTTC Range B (Impacted) 21.9 10.5 5.4 2.2 -- Available
So do any of you think the new estimate and the old estimate are a glitch of some sort?
Also I have seen a few people posting about FTTC modem firmware updates and that their ping lowers and speed improves a bit. I have noticed that the ping when doing a speedtest has decreased a bit from 40ms to about 26-33ms, does this update apply to ECI modems and ECI fibre cabs to?
Last question sorry, Does anybody know the latest news on FTTC vectoring and whether BT have decided to go ahead with upgrading cabs after the trial they had in London?

My best ever result- upload is more than it should be. but more the better. Also ping is a bit high
