Upgrade them to 152Mb down, 29Mb up G.fast most likely. It's only £3.60 including VAT a month more than the 80Mb product at wholesale level and BT are one of the more expensive providers in terms of their ongoing pricing.
This makes sense for a few reasons. It provides Openreach an anchor G.fast tenant, moves some money into the Openreach account and provides an incentive for Sky, TalkTalk, Vodafone, etc, to jump on board with the product, which they may do with more enthusiasm than they did VDSL as they don't have their geriatric ADSL 2+ LLU networks to protect this time around.
Of course they may also decide to pursue FTTP with a partner like CityFibre instead. We'll see.
