EE promised Download speeds versus BT...why so different?

I bit the bullet and signed up (provisionally) for EE Fibre Max 100 last night having done my homework on anticipated speeds versus BT, my current provider. More specific details emerged in the follow up EE email that are a concern.

 

Oddly, based on results for my specific property, the differences now quoted are very different. Does this make sense?

 

EE (Fibre Max 100)

EE say my line will support speeds of 100mbps

Guarantee minimum download of 50mbps, upload of 20mbps

 

BT (Fibre 100)

BT estimate average speeds of 145mbps.

Guaranteed minimum download of 100mbps, upload 30mbps

EE warn of RPI (it's CPI) cost rises + 3.9% every March - 18 month contract. BT say no increases even at the end of 24 month contract.

BT do the same - see BT Annual price changes and CPI
