BT Wholesale has also upgraded WBC FTTP to also 50Mbps up.

Not sure yet whether BT will supply that yet though, I sent BTCare a DM on Twitter the other day referring to this and have yet to hear back from them.

Some FTTP areas have the Ultrafast 1/2 options and some don't.

Suspect its tied to BT Consumer and BT Wholesale having the 10 Gbps handover links rather than a couple of 1 Gbps links at the handover exchange.

Ah, ok.
Well I know mine now shows up as 330 Mbps (down) and 50 Mbps (up) >>> shown here <<< still waiting for BTCare to get back with the answers to my questions, might wait until Monday to phone them and ask my question.

I have a bad feeling due to getting a very very good deal for re-subbing for another 12 to 18 months that I won't be able to upgrade to the 50 Mbps up.
But you never know.
