Sync at 77Mb but DL speed is only 36Mb Max

Had Fibre installed last Thursday (17th Jan) I ordered the Fibre Pro package and initially I was set up on essentials speed. This was corrected however even though my sync speed states 77Mb I am still only getting 36Mb downloads max and 9Mbs upload.
I am connected directly to the the router via cat5e cable, so it's not a wireless issue.

What 'sync speed' are you referring to here?

Unfortunately it looks like you were caught in recent problem we have whereby orders were being placed on 40/10 instead of 80/20 speeds. We'll get this corrected for you and you should be up to full speed on Monday.

I had already called in about it on sunday, there is a note on my account saying it would be rectified by midnight on the 23rd but still no dice, even though the sync speed has been showing 77Mb since Monday.

Okay, sorry about this. As Chris said, it looks as though your modify order hasn't gone through or been placed correctly. We'll get this sorted out for you.

Where are you seeing the sync speed? The router doesn't report it and the speed shown on our website isn't your sync, that's our version of your line profile.

That isn't relevant

Hi there,
I've checked to order to place you onto the correct product and it's not due to complete until Monday, sorry for the delay with this.
Let me know on Monday how your speeds are.

Re: Sync at 77Mb but DL speed is only 36Mb Max

Hi chrispurvey, i'm not sure why my last post was edited.
my DL speeds are still down around the 55Mbps mark which is way off the quoted line test speed and even further below the actual line speed.
It's nothing to do with my network either as I have done some file transfer tests with no problems.
