Dragging this one kicking and screaming back to the first page as full fibre has finally made it to this corner of the world and I had mine installed today.
Previous to this, the best I could look forward to was 20Mbps on a good day and woe betide you if you tried to record a Sky Sports HD channel while watching another HD channel via NOW TV. I'm paying for a Full Fibre 300 package with full HD sports package but was given the Full Fibre 500 package at the same price as for some reason they couldn't see the 300 option at the call centre. It's way over what I'll ever need (I hope), but it's £15 per month cheaper than what I was paying before.
As for the Speedtest result...

And 395Mbps download speed on wifi on the mobile!

My BB speed has more than halved recently from a consistent 16 Mb/s to a variable 5-8 Mb/s but since I am only guaranteed 5 Mb/s I can't do much about that. Still no sign of fibre here, though at least we are now on the 'to do' list!

We can get YouFibre. They use their own cabling network and don’t rely on other providers. Almost 1GB upload and download speed. £30pcm with no in contract price rises.

We have VM's 1Gb service - 1Gb/s download & 104Mb/s upload. It's generally rock solid but the fact that the modem randomly updates/resets itself without any warning is a bit annoying, especially if I'm in the middle of uploading photos to my cloud storage at the time.

My desktop PC gets full speed via a cabled Ethernet connection but the laptop is somewhat slower (using its internal Wi-Fi module) despite being in the same room as the modem.
