UK will have a legal right to 10Mbps speeds by 2020

Is that a legal right of up to 10Mbps or actual minimum speed?

I had a 13Mbps BT connection. On a good day, the speed was around 7Mbps and on bad days, around 3Mbps and dropping out...

I paid BT £39 for that but, after 5 years of them not putting Infinity in, moved to Virgin Media Vivid350 and now get 275Mbps down and ~40Mbps up for £44.

VM are trialling this for business nearby and it's crazy fast. BT (and others) should do the same. 10Mbps is too slow for a service commitment. It needs to be 100Mbps at minimum. I don't see why we are even continuing on copper work - and should go to FTTP.
