A wider trial started last week, so no full launch, but take notice of the way that providers can limit results if they want

Mine is now showing 61/20, however my max rate on the modem is showing approx 101/35.

My line now shows a 80/20 estimate.

My modem however reports an attainable rate of 61/31. Is the modem taken to be reliable, I thought the checker would usually underestimate.

The cat's back in the bag. I checked mine late last night and again just now; it showed the uncapped results but has now been capped, down and up. Here are the estimates from October, December, late January, last night and this morning:

28.9/6.4 -> 28.9/11.5 -> 40.0/13.2 -> 51.7/13.2 > 40.0/10.0

50-100m line:

Your cabinet is planned to have WBC FTTC by 30th June 2012. 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 80Mbps and upstream line speed of 20Mbps.

In my case the checker does underestimate but I guess not in all cases. I would believe the modem over BTs estimates.

Same here. Checked this morning and thought the estimate was rather conservative with it showing 69Mbs and 20Mbs, where my modem showed 87522kbps and interleaving was in place.
I would have thought this has gone up since interleaving has been removed some what.

The checker has changed again and now states 40Mbs/10Mbs. This used to be 37.1Mbs until a few weeks back.

My line has had the following changes:
- originally 31.3/10.1
- then 40/20 (after the first change)
- then 40/10 (last night)
- now 57.8/20

Still waiting for the cabinet to be enabled though. I think it's Richmond council's fault.

Same for me.

I observed that no phone numbers provided predicated available for any of Basingstoke's in-fill cabinets until literally the day before they went active. The postcode check was the only way for residents to get any indication that their lines may be covered.

In my own case, the cabinet was installed last July but has yet to be powered. Roadworks scheduled this weekend, but they've been scheduled and cancelled three times already so I'm not holding my breath!

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 37.5Mbps and upstream line speed of 14.6Mbps.

My max attainable last time i looked was 132008kbps down 35734kbps up

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 40Mbps and upstream line speed of 20Mbps.

Now:

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 76.6Mbps and upstream line speed of 20Mbps

Which is disapointing given my max attainable rate is so high lol
