Do different Openreach service providers have different speeds? (alien.top)

BT is offering me speeds of 60 mbps, while Shell is offering 90 mbps. Shell's minimum gaurenteed speed is 70 mpbs and BT's is 50 mpbs. They both use Openreach cables. Will there be any difference?

No, id argue bt is overpriced. But a gfast forecast of 90+ is borderline not worth the extra money imho.

Ive previously had gfast and it was on the low end of the estimates at my address and i fought with disconnections for about a year before openreach finally found a fault. In my experience its Much more more sensitive to issues that superfast.
