You weren't told because they want to see how the network performs with normal usage and how it copes with things. They did not want to start having people thinking that the trial is a service upgrade and complaining when they don't get their max trial speed or when it is withdrawn.
The other issue is that some people may avail themselves of the upgrade news by caning their upload 24x7 - not really a realistic representation of normal usage which is what they are interested in mostly.
If your modem copes ok, which it evidently does, and the network copes ok, which it also evidently does, mission accomplished. Now they just keep an eye on how capacity requirements are. They'll have some data on this from smaller trials but need more 'en masse' info.

Trying not to confuse the trials which you are saying are unconnected.
I know about SamKnows because I have the kit. Crappy as it is, only 1 port in and 2 out and only 100Mbs.
I didn't know about the 5Mb trial I was on. You are saying that is deliberate so I wouldn't cane my equipment? That's a laugh I've been downloading sh..loads of torrents just so I can gawp at it all zoom up again.
