BT will romp home on the upload speed, and also remember some VM areas have actual speeds way below marketed speeds, in fact a 512kbit dsl service could outperform my 20mbit VM service. FTTC from BT will not be contended at the cabinet and cabinet backhaul.
The problem been tho is BT seem to be avoiding problem areas (ones with expensive to replace long local loops) so areas with already short lines seem to be been picked out.
The real advantage of FTTC is not going from 24mbit to 40mbit, it is that it will raise typical speeds a LOT. On adsl2+ typical speeds are still below 5mbit.

If your exchange isn't on that list don't hold your breath, but as mentioned it's subject to change.
If Derby City Council were to engage Openreach perhaps this would change and is something I'd recommend you get them to do. Potentially Derby would require more work or there's an issue which would make the deployment more complicated.

this list is now complete then? full planned rollout?
its very strange so many city centre exchanges are not picked. Especially ones with long lines.
