80/20 not available in your area

I was wondering why my 40/10 line hadn't been updated to the new 80/20 when I switched over (I got the 250GB usage allowance) and was told that it isn't available in my area yet. I was under the impression it was a national switchover and didn't require any cabinet/exchange upgrades?
Does anyone have a map/scedule of when/where the 80/20 service will become available?

I'm surprised the profiles aren't just automtically set when you upgrade. The upload profile was originally 2, it's now 10. Why not just set it to 20 and see what the router finally syncs at?
I am currently on a 35/10 profile (according to the BT speed checker), which just baffles me as I was syncing at over 36 download originally. Now it's capped at 35, I'm getting around 33 Mbps.
If it's not policy to set the profile to 80/20, could you please at least set it to 40/10?

IP Profile for your line is - 35 Mbps
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 10 Mbps
...it was originally 40/2.
I'm not too bothered now TBH, as there is a healthy increase in the upload. I'm just curious why the profile isn't set to 80/20 by default for new customers, maybe it costs more and whatever small gain to the speeds may be achieved isn't worth it?

No it wasn't, the maximum possible BT IP profile for 40/2 is 38.72Mbps (96.79% of 40Mbps).

Is the BT profile also affected by the upload setting? If not I still fail to see what has happened lol.
I'm not having a moan, It's just that on the current profile it looks like my download is being capped slightly.

Thanks for the advice.
I can't complain as the speed has increased over 5x on the D/L and about 8x on the upload since switching over to fibre, but as humans we always want more

Not wishing to gloat, but my speeds have increased over 20-fold on download and 30-fold on upload in the last year or so!

Quote from: KevinG I'm sure what you are seeing and what Plusnet are saying is that it has been set to 40/10. Plusnet don't set the BT profile, they just order a wholesale service, in this case 40/10. The slight loss of download speed maybe due to the increase in upload from 40/2 or it may just be normal variation.
Having studied my connection in some depth & experimenting with various Plusnet profiles, I can confirm that switching from 40/2 to 40/10 some months ago, switching back to 40/2 quite recently & finally switching from 40/2 to 40/10 again does affect DS sync speeds.
i.e. increasing US to "up to" 10Mb on my connection seems to deduct around 5Mb from my DS sync speed, from around 32-33Mb to 27-28Mb. US sync speed is now around 4.5Mb.

This is rather like Annex M on ADSL but for slightly different reasons.
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.
