Edit: nvm, wasn't testing with a wired connection.
Today my ADSL was upgraded to fibre. I'm paying for the 'up to 80mb' package and currently download speeds are showing at just under 50mb, and upload speeds are a little lower than expected.
Just wondering how long it usually takes until you achieve your expected download speeds.

So are you saying that the speeds I'm getting now are what I should expect from now on? In the portal it says my line speed is 80mb.

Your estimates are 76-80 so I'd expect you to get faster than 50Mbs on a speedtest.
Your line is currently synced at 80Mb/s - are you testing over wired or wireless?

Okay, so ten days later and I'm barely scraping 50 mbps, when originally I was getting around 75/76. Any reason for this?

I can't find any obvious issues, your line is still connected at a good speed:
Downstream Speed 79.9 Mbps
Upstream Speed 20.0 Mbps
Profile Name 0.128M-80M Downstream, Error Protection Off - 0.128M-20M Upstream, Error Protection Off
Is that test still via a wired connection? If so it may be worthwhile raising a fault so we can do some more investigation.
