@grepkin The real benefit of FTTP is the stability and reliability. It’s not subject to the vagaries of FTTC/VDSL. You can restart it as many times as you like and you get the correct speed every time.
While the technology has been “faster is better” up to now, we have reached the stage where it is fast enough. More speed no longer automatically gives an improvement in performance because there are two ends to any connection and lot going on in between. Most of which is not controlled from your end. It’s just the same as the evolution of the motor car. For years every new model was better. Now, do you really need a 160mph car just to go to work?
As a retired tech, I was interested to see if more speed would be better. Over the course of 18 months, I want from 58Mb/s on FTTC to 68Mb/s, (when they finally worked out how to make G.INP run on the ECI cabinets). I then went to 74Mb/s on FTTP which I subsequently upgraded to 150Mb/s. Has it made any difference in the time it takes to download?…not really & frankly, I didn’t expect it to. Slow as it is, the only reason you might need a better upload speed is if you do a lot of uploading to Cloud storage.
Just my opinion, but I wouldn’t rush into paying extra for high speeds.
