i have recently been connected to FTTC fibre and my line profile looking on the BTW test site is roughly 40 mb down and 20 mb up and i actually get 38 mb down and about 7 mb up and i am on the standard plusnet fibre package as the extra couldn't guarantee better than 40 mb, so understood.
My first question is, if i upgraded to extra, would i see the 20 mb upload?
Looking at the attached clip from google earth, when i run the 'what can i expect' test on the Bt website, all my firends shown can get 80/20, where mine can only achieve the 40 mb D/L.
Do i have a potential problem or is it just the case of location as there may be more than one fibre cable serving all of us.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated

it might help if you can run the bt wholesale speed test and post the results http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/bbfaults/bt_speed_tester.shtml

Anyway, i have run the BTW speedtest and results attached. it does show as 20 mb is maximum but only achieves 6 mb, is this because i am on the standard package?
What is a little strange is my friend near the cabinet is still 80/20.
my other friend across the field from me is now only showing he can get ADSL2+ and is served by a different cabinet and the same when i check on the BT website.
My other friend who is with talktalk cant even be tested so i am guessing my earlier results i got from the BT website were rogue.
It does seem odd that my friend who is 100 yards up the road is getting double what i get. when we were both on ADSL2+, he would get 16 mb and i would get around 12 mb.
Anyway, thanks very much for the input.

http://www.increasebroadbandspeed.co.uk/2012/graph-ADSL-speed-versus-distance
The table on the above page would estimate your line to be around 2.5km (from the exchange) vs 2km for your friend and that leads to a corresponding drop in VDSL performance
http://www.increasebroadbandspeed.co.uk/2013/chart-bt-fttc-vdsl2-speed-against-distance
The table on the above page would suggest that your friend is between 200m and 300m from the cabinet and you are between 700m and 800m. I make no claim for the accuracy of the tables of course but they do show a consistent order of magnitude difference...

I am 200m from my cabinet walking distance, but line is nearer 400m in length.
Due to high crosstalk severity, you probably need to be under 200m to be reasonably confident of a solid long lasting 80meg sync. Above that its still very possible but crosstalk will drag it down.

Now the other two addresses are not showing the 80/20, it makes it more understandable as it seemed that everyone around was getting the maximum.
Another 5 years for FTP, not that i need it really, just one of those things that was bugging me
Why does my line profile show maximum achievable upload as 20 mb but achieves on 6 mb ?
thanks

That is not to say that it cannot be improved, but a product change won't do that.

We're on the 40 Mbps package & get 38 Mbps but we get at least 15 Mbps upload.

VDSL2 is very adaptive and will pretty much squeeze all the speed it can get from the line. Barring some line fault, your speed stats are not uncommon.
