Whats your upload speed?

Expensive ISP.
I have had a look at Andrews & Arnolds website. Their basic £ 25 per month package allows up to 50GB download per month. However its not clear what download speed is? I presume its ADSL2+ @ 20mbit and if you want 40/10 FTTC its an extra £ 10 a month. Have I got this right?
FTTH
HyperOptic (currently exclusive London areas only).
100/100 service (£35 (you do get 6mths free to start off with though)).
There is a 1gb/1gb service, but it's £60.
Where I am its £ 30 a month for 50/1mbit, £ 45 for 100/20mbit and £ 60 a month for 1000/100mbit and I think you get the first two months free for evaluation purposes. Is yours unlimited too? Where I am the 50/1mbit has a 80GB download per month limit, the 100/20mbit has a 100GB per month limit and the 1000/100mbit also has a 100GB download per month limit. Overnight between 00:00 and 08:00 isn't charged and you can get a so called complete package for an extra tenner on the 50/1mbit package allowing up to 160GB per month.

Was promised 50/20 but am happy with a faster download and slower upload. This is through a powerline adaptor as well.

Used to be around 18Mb/s but more recently has dropped...

Have you done an actual real world upload test. Sign up for a free FTP account at crocko.com and then upload a file to their ftp server.
I did and got this result

Which works out to over 15mbit upload despite my speedtest only just getting over 10mbit.

Another good site for testing.
I tend to get a more reliable / quicker result on this.

Yes, that is correct.
If you build your own tariff and have a larger data limit, the £10pm extra that FTTC costs, is eventually wiped out. The larger the limit, FTTC actually works out cheaper. For eg. 1GB peak and 50GB off-peak, costs £20 on ADSL/2+. For FTTC, the same data limit is £30. If however you have 5GB peak and 50GB off-peak, that is only £2 more on FTTC than it is on ADSL/2+. If you have 10GB peak and 50GB off-peak, it's actually cheaper by around £6 on FTTC.

Should have known you'd show up and stomp all over my 100mb service
lol
I'm amazed by it so far tbh, just downloaded 21GB in about 3 minutes, it's mental.
Living in the middle of sticks sucks - wish I was back in a big city with decent speeds
Not sure what's up with the latency on there as I can ping the US sub 20ms.
I'm not much different to this (latency is generally 60-70ms for all), but don't really live in the sticks.
Thankfully Three give us their full speed here, so when I have to, I tether
