I can't believe that there are more 60-120Mbps tests than there are 10-30Mbps tests even it those on higher speeds are more likely to test there are far far fewer of them. It suggests some selection process other than the actual number of tests.
No selection process at all, beyond people visiting our tester to test their connection.
Where we know the proportion of customers on a speed tier e.g. from financial results we can adjust the figures to arrive at an average speed for an ISP overall.
I can see OR Upgrading to 30a next year (early), then vectoring late/early next year. The modems already support 30a so only new line cards will be needed.
Fair enough. I thought only a fairly small percentage took the higher tiers and there looked to be a quite even spread of tests across them all although accurately estimating the number of dots is tricky for sure. Presumably then those taking the higher tiers spend more time speed testing which makes a sort-of logic.

Mean it will be roll out each cabinets or each exchanges.
The modems also only have 100Mb Fast Ethernet ports, and 30a line cards are less port dense and more expensive.
Until they come down in price and match the port density of the 17a cards not likely. If it were Openreach would already be using the cards, not putting 17a cards into kit only to replace it later.
There's also the issue that 30a is of zero benefit on the downstream and no real commercial driver upstream.
It seems unlikely. BT's next course will be vectoring then G.Fast from what has been in the news.
