ADSL to VDSL upgrade - what now?

Just ordered VDSL, finally our local cabinet was made live last week. (Yay!).
So, what now? I have a Draytek Vigor 130 on it's way to me, but what happens at the faceplate? I have one of the BT Openreach master sockets with the ADSL V1.0 filter faceplate fitted. Does that change? Do BT come out and fit a different faceplate? Do I have to buy a different faceplate?
Any info gratefully received, in case I need to buy other bits to make this work.

Quote from: ChannelZ ? Do I have to buy a different faceplate?
There's no need to but I did anyway after first going ADSL many years ago. Still works nicely on fibre. This was just to get rid of various filters hanging from the other phone sockets. Bought it on line. Not expensive and easy to fit. Just insulation displacement connectors that only need the wire pushing into them with a small screwdriver.
Also if ever you have fault on line it makes it so much easier to prove the fault by opening the socket which disconnects all the internal wiring then plugging into the test socket you'll find inside.

Got my new Vigor 130, and the Mk3 faceplate. Fitted both earlier, and I'm still on 12Mb despite getting an email yesterday to say the change has completed.
I assume this email is a mistake, and I assume I'll only be billed from when the upgrade ACTUALLY takes place?
Edit: Sorry, wrong login, too many plus.net accounts and this whole resetting password nonsense has me confuzzled! - ChannelZ

Is your Vigor running in VDSL or ADSL mode ?
When our connection changed to VDSL this week we still ran at the old 20mb of ADSL.
A quick online chat to Plusnet support and they removed the restriction and things were up to speed (albeit with other issues, but that won't affect you)

@ChannelZ your Current Line Speed may not have been updated. Check that out.
PS. And you were wise to get the Mk3 plate
