Upgraded to Fibre Extra but still getting previous speeds

Last Friday my upgrade should have kicked in to 76/20 from 40/20. Same price offer
By Sunday it was the same so called support and they said they'd sorted it - but it was still the same on Monday.
Called support again on Monday and they said they would sort it within 24 hours - but guess what its still the same and today the wholesale website says i am still on 37/20 and actually getting speeds of about 35/8.
tbh I think its related to a fault I raised on joining whereby the installation engineer connected the modem to a cruddy old extension to the master socket the previous owners had left in place rather than putting it in properly - that report never got sorted. Could be a new issue and not very delighted at the minute even if BT have been suffering the heat these last few days.
Can someone please sort it to save me having to call support for a third time?

Thanks for the support and looking at it again so promptly.
The issue is that your colleague on Sunday spotted an issue and said he'd fixed it, and your colleague on Monday said he'd spotted the issue and said it would be fixed within 24 hours. If you have a chance to listen to the call he said to call back Thurs/Fri at the latest if is hadn't improved.
Are you saying the fix went through and this is simply the best speed at this location? I ask because I don't feel that is the case but of course I am not expert and respect that you are.

There is one easy method of checking
The 40/20 package was actually an 80/20 product limited to 40Mb/s by the Plusnet Current Line Speed
If you carry out the BT Speedtest then Further Diagnostics this will give you the IP profile from which the sync speed can be calculated by multiplying it by 1.0333 approx

What does this say for your expected speeds http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/ADSLChecker.TelephoneNumberOutput as with those numbers you didn't need to move from 40/20 as 55/10 would have been all you needed

It might be better to call Customer Options and, if necessary, invoke the 14 day decline clause to go back to where you were
