The cabinets have only just been installed over the last few weeks and there is supposedly some sort of exchange work being done in early September (changing to WBC?) so perhaps there will be further upgrades ?

All exchanges offer up to 80Mb but any individual speed will depend heavily on the distance from the cabinet. In your case I suspect you are some distance from the cabinet and therefore your estimated speeds are well down on the maximum 80Mb.
Quote but can anyone explain why our exchange only offers 'up to 40Mbps' (see attachment) and not the higher 'up to 80 Mbps'? (see attachment)

That's odd then, from the typical VDSL speed vs Distance graph in this link http://www.increasebroadbandspeed.co.uk/2013/chart-bt-fttc-vdsl2-speed-against-distance the estimate seems to think you're about 900m line length to the cabinet. As Starmans says , the cable routing can be different to the direct line of sight. It's difficult to see how you'd need 900m of cable to a cab 20m away no matter how it's routed. Are you sure that's the correct cabinet ? your estimate says you're connected to PCP Cabinet No 2. Maybe you're not actually connected to the nearest cabinet. Failing that , it could be just an error in BT's database...
Quote I'm pretty much right next to the cabinet. It's only 20 metres outside my door and we watched them installing it.
