I get up to 400 Mbps in Whitechapel (Vodafone 5G). Very fast and reliable.

Well, 5G is something else entirely.

My experience was from nearly 6 years ago; on BT's books I was a 16Mbps customer but I was very much not getting that.

I am merely questioning the link between 'on the books 96% of people in britain can get x speed' with my own experience of _not_ getting advertised, quoted, and paid for speeds.

(also my apartment in Bromley-by-Bow didn't get 4G (or even more than 1 bar of 3G) anywhere inside, my prior apartments were lived in before there was any 4G in London)
