I guess it could be a weird coincidence? Money goes to BT. BT upgrades loads of cabinets to enable VDSL, people get faster speeds. Could all be unrelated.
Doesn't seem like it though. Also there's a deal where if BT says "This upgrade makes no commercial sense" (so they won't do it without government money) but then they make money off the upgrade, there's a "claw back" which gets back the extra money. Several of those clawbacks have now triggered in fact, and the money was used to fund yet more broadband.
