I raised a call on the 28th at 04:15( tried to be as early as possible)
It appears every 2 months or so my line profile gets changed from the 41~mb profile it normally has to a 38mb profile, upon this I go from 4.8MB/s to 4.1MB/S and my ping when gaming rockets to over 100 normally it sits at about 39-46 which although is only a speed loss of 700kbp/s down and I am struggling to get my 5 megabits up it is still a frustration for a Heavy internet Gamer/streamer such as myself.
I've waited the required 1 day and 20 hours but I don't appear to getting a resolution,
I'd like to obtain a Line Profile reset to regain my 41~ mb profile but I am having to have this happen once every few months in order to keep my speed.
If someone can point me to how to obtain my line stats from a Asus RT-N66u Router then I can post them too.
My speed stats as of when i raised the call
Wondering how I should progress, Although a BT engineer appeared today (although I was not informed of his visit) and he checked my line (apparently) and said things were fine when I mentioned my speed problems he said there had been no other reported problems and that he was here to check some Upgrades they had made to our cabs, after this I contacted BT to inquire about this and the person I had spoken too had said there was upgrades to improve speeds to FTTC products and when I asked what speed I could achieve he said somewhere in the region of 43Mb-59Mb.
My question is if my line can support up to 60MB why does it drop from 41 to 36-38 every few months and How could I obtain this mythical speed improvement?
Edit #1: Just checked the BT broadband Availability checker Confirms the speed myths.

However as BT have promised me a speed increase of 25% I might be looking at a migration.

I had a fair few conversations with support since the 28th, and so far my connection had deteriorated to a Dismal (in my eyes) 35mb, I had spoken with Support multiple times and they were not able to offer a solution.
I spoke to the Sales team who then actually achieved what I was looking for and raised my speeds to just over 42mb, however it was testing on the BT performance tester at 66MB and 113MB respectively.
However after several resets there was some electrical work being done, I am back down to 35mb which is kind of depressing, I managed to catch a BTOR engineer that was here on something slightly unrelated and asked if there was any issues or if there had been an influx in use, although he wouldnt tell me, however after I explained my issue he was slightly more helpful and suggested maybe there has been some sort of issues between our exchange and us as a few people had complained about similar issues with BT.
This has now been going on for 2 days shy of a month and it seems like we are moving forward.
