Yep upload speed could and should be higher on FTTP given the bandiwdth is 2.4Gbps downstream and 1.2Gbps upstream to each 32 home split.

On the other hand given Virgin palm people with 50Mbps off with 1.75Mbps upstream at the moment the incentive to improve things is hardly overwhelming. Virgin are, frankly, excrement for upstream so BT do similar, a pretty common story.

BT pushing out to 10Mbps is as much as VM are advertising, and given that VM are seeing upstream congestion even with the crappy upstreams they offer now they have some work to do!
