55/10 Mbps FTTC

In December 2015 there were reports of a BT Openreach announcement of a "middle tier" FTTC service offering 55/10 Mbps. The service was supposed to be available to ISPs from early this year. Unless I have missed it there doesn't seem to be an ISP offering a 55/10 tariff. Since BT is all about profits my assumption is that Openreach would never have offered 55/10 Mbps unless it had clear indications that ISPs wanted to buy it from them and offer it as a retail product. Does anyone know what's going on or has 55/10 sunk without trace?

Will know who it is in a few hours

Not gonna to happen! 40/10 to 55/10 is rather daft idea by openreach. If it was 60/10 then I think many isps will go for this.

Spotted this earlier..

Not daft if it was at the request of an ISP.

I always suspected it would be BT Retail so they didn't have to mess about when Infinity 1 customers want BT Sport in UHD.

a. Faster connections � BT will have the fastest standard fibre speeds in the country at 52mb

What an utter con!

BT Broadband will be making some portfolio changes as from tomorrow:

a. Faster connections � BT will have the fastest standard fibre speeds in the country at 52mb
b. Better connected through their extensive 5million Wi-Fi hotspots
c. Safer as standard � with BT Protect or BT Protect plus, parental controls and cloud storage to keep your photos and files safe (note some of the increases in cloud storage too!)
d. Reliable � through both their most reliable connection via the BT home hub

Pity the HH5A doesn't do G.INP

Why is it a con?

We know it refers to the maximum of the product, and all current offers end at midnight tonight.
