Hi @FibreMike
Thanks for getting in touch and I am sorry to hear that you haven't been experiencing the speeds that you would expect on the Fibre Extra product.
Having looked through your account and checked the service for your line and it appears that everything on your account is correct however supplier systems shows a 40/10 setup. Speeds for your line look to vary on the supplier systems up to 58Mbps download and 12Mbps upload.
I have arranged the upgrade on our supplier systems and have sent more details on a ticket on your account
Once again I apologise that this appears to have not been processed correctly for you.

Thanks for the prompt reply. The connection speeds you mention are more in line with the rates I'm expecting as they agree with the high rates reported by the BT Broadband Availability Checker. I'll check my connection speed on Monday night and hopefully I will be clicking the 'fixed' button. I must say that so far the forum experience is far better than the telephone; especially concerning technical issues. Though the telephone customer service where good at sorting out my billing over charge error. Cheers.

Monday my connection speed changed slightly. The connection speed reported by hub one is now 39.56 Mbps download and 9.728 Mbps Upload. So and small improvement with the download speed and a smaller drop in the upload speed. When I run the further diagnostics on the BT wholesale test I get the following. Download speed achieved during the test was - 36.17 Mbps, IP Profile for your line is - 38.29 Mbps, Upload speed achieved during the test was - 16.38Mbps Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 20 Mbps. So It looks like I'm now on Fibre Extra according to the wholesale test. Though I'm intrigued to how the wholesale further diagnostics test is giving a speed almost twice that of the upload speed reported by the router. Almost the first part of the BT test reported 8.62 Mbps. I wondering whether to give the connection a bit more time to sort itself or to reboot the router. Though it looks like it must have rebooted when my profile was changed from 40/10 to 80/20 (or is it 40/20?) based on the connection time reported by the router. The connection looks stable on the Ookla speed test.

Hi @FibreMike,
I've reviewed the account today and it appears that, although the modify order completed, you still appear to be limited to 40Mbps down and 10Mbps up. As this is the case, we'd need to arrange an engineer visit to go ahead to investigate further. I've raised a ticket response regarding this which can be read and responded to here. Once you've had the chance to respond, please let us know so that we can pick this back up for review.

I meant test socket not rest. Looking at the connection report on the router this evening it is showing a download of 47.02 Mbps and an upload of 9.724 Mbps. So I think I'll leave things for a few days to see if the connection speeds get any higher before calling out an engineer.

The router rebooted last night and re-negotiated a better download speed. I'm now syncing at 51.07 Mbps download and 9.317 Mbps up. Also the BT Wholesale Further Diagnostics is now agreeing on the upload speed rather than been over-optimistic at 16 Mbps (20 Mbps profile). The actual download/upload speeds are roughly 90% of the sync speed. So hopefully in a few more days the speed will have improved a little more as the connection seems pretty stable at the current sync rate.
