then it would appear that you have been upgraded to 2Mb , the .2 is to cover overheads.

I think all 1mbps pipex connections say that... But they're limited at the pipex end to 1mbps, to save their trouble

All Pipex connections are 2.2Mbps at the exchange now. Pipex limit the speed their end...
My dad's new 250k connection still connects at 2.2Mbps but speedtests confirm 250kbps...

Yeah Pipex don't do 512k now so yes, you have been upgraded to 1Mbps their end.
While they were getting BT to change the line though, they just put it to 2.2Mbps incase you wanted to upgrade later. Then they can do instant upgrades instead of waiting for BT to pull their proverbial finger out...
