Looking at the stats I have recorded across my lines past and present:

yes, generally speaking if someone manages 80 they always have 20mbit up, but lines in the 60s often have 20+ also, so hence me guessing 25 would easily be 10% of lines.

My current attainable sync is 72279/30528. Funny my actual DS sync is exactly same as the attainable.

When my line needed a pair swap and the downstream sync fell to below 50mbit, the upstream was still over 20.

We get quite a few brown outs as well, enough to kick in the UPS, which in turn emails me to let me know!. They mostly only last under a minute.

Yup, same. And if I'm at the computer my speakers buzz and the lights dim.

Haha no. My job is at most very distantly related to such things.

I work for a vendor of enterprise hardware, not ISP. Haven't worked in service provider space since 2007.

Heh. I was kidding. Somehow the accent reminded me of you though. 'Dacksys'

Why is that a bad thing? Terminology aside I thought anything above 30Mbps was classed as "next-gen", "superfast" or "ultrafast" be damned.

As subsequently reported, these upload speeds have turned out to be false. The 100Mbps details have not been confirmed but the other figures are 200/12 and 300/20.
