BT haven't put you on 80/20 Unlimited Fibre Extra as it sound like DLM Reset doesn't come through. Your line still on old product 40/10.
Don't worry as Adam Walker or Gandalf will get back to the supplier to chase it up.

@goldenfibre You are wrong, if @Richchad line was still on 40/10, then the synch speed would be 39,999.
The issue is that his line is currently not able to go any higher than it is at the moment - look at the max attainable speeds.
@Richchad Have you tried plugging the router into the hidden test socket?

Ran BT test again this morning and it showed 14.48Mbps...!
Which web browser are you using? Because that's incorrect if this happens:
However if I run the old Ookla speed test it shows around 37Mbps..?
Hopefully someone can sort it today.
Line is still showing as banded. I'd personally give it more time, as the DLM reset was only requested yesterday. Due to the way resets work on fibre it's a manual process where we'd send it to BTwholesale and they'd pass it onto Openreach.
Failing this we'd need to arrange an engineer but I'll get back to you via your ticket as it's in my workflow to monitor.

Well here we are on Friday morning, ran BT test first thing and down even lower to 9.93Mbps...
So whatever needs to be done by BT or Openreach hasn't been done yet.
Can someone chase this up please.

Can you please post back your router stats again and ran speed test with this link: https://fast.com/en/ if you can plug into test socket on the master socket via ethernet.
Also check PN Current Line Speed: https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed

Not possible to use test socket as too far from PC and can't see that this would make any difference as nothing has changed here.
Speed test with Fast.com shows speed of 35Mbps the same as all other speed test websites other than BT Wholesale.
PN Current Line Speed..
Estimated line speed:64Mb (This may vary between 49Mb and 64Mb) - Checked on 2017-09-19 10:31:50 Current line speed:38.8 Mb
Have attached Router stats again...
I don't see where you are going with this as it seems that BT or Openreach still have work to do as suggested by Gandalf.

As above, which web browser are you using? Because if you're getting this:
Speed test with Fast.com shows speed of 35Mbps the same as all other speed test websites other than BT Wholesale.
Both sites can't be right.
Not possible to use test socket as too far from PC and can't see that this would make any difference as nothing has changed here.
Unfortunately if the DLM reset doesn't work before we arrange an engineer visit, this will be the next step to rule out the internal wiring of your property causing the issue to help mitigate a call-out charge.
I don't see where you are going with this as it seems that BT or Openreach still have work to do as suggested by Gandalf.
From experience, DLM resets take about a week to fully go through.
If you're still seeing a slow sync rate by Monday we'll arrange an engineer visit but I do recommend trying the test socket first.

@Gandalf Okay have found out from another posting that Firefox and BT test give poor results, so tried on Internet Explorer and now shows my usual download speed of around 37Mbps.
I will try and connect with ethernet cable dirct to test socket and run speed test again.
Will update you on results.

@Gandalf Okay, went to Openreach Master socket and then remembered that they had disconnected all my remote sockets some years ago and hard wired from Master socket to junction box next to PC, the only other connection is our wireless phone base plugged into front of master socket, hopefully this should be okay as no other house wiring connected.
I unplugged the base connection and ran test again getting 38Mbps as expected.
So looks like will have to wait until Monday to see if banding has been removed.
