I would suggest millions (Mainly FTTN given they are really only just gathering steam on FTTC)
I had to disconnect the phone extensions at a mates place for exactly the same reason. They don't even look at it, they come in, plonk the modem down plug it in and if it syncs up and works, job done.
The difference in his case was not as stark but it was still there, they were not the winners of nodelotto and even now only just top 25mbps so they must be an unfavorable distance from the node or have poor copper, though they are in a relatively new estate.
