You may get even more than the 60 down, but I doubt you'll get 20 up, mine should be 57/20, but I'm currently synced at 44/11

I think this thread has been the quickest where is my cab to I've ordered, even the installation time is quick, normally it's about 3 weeks.

I wish my order was that quick. I've just been able to order fibre at my new place and I have to wait until 18th December.

I have never synced at less than 20 up, my downstream sync varies from mid 60s to low 70s (estimate 58.1).

ok, don't rub it in :'(

Sorry, I didn't intend to, just pointing out that at a downstream sync of 60+, full 20Mbps upstream sync was likely.

Not a problem, only a bit of banter really.

Is there anything worth knowing in advance of the OR Engineer visit?

Also, is the cable that comes from the VSDL faceplate and connects to the VDSL modem the same type of cable that's used to connect from an ADSL faceplate an ADSL router/modem?

Yes it is - OR provide the cable.

If you plant to move the modem (or to get the OR installer to place it further away) you should get a "home wiring solution" which is an extension cable.

It is free but needs to be ordered by the ISP from OR. Some ISPs do this automatically.

I've got an RJ11 -> RJ45 cable that I made to connect from the ADSL faceplate to a neighbouring network socket, which ends up at a patch panel. In another room a similar cable connects from a network socket to my router, then at the patch panel end I've connected both network sockets together. Works well so I'm hoping I can locate the VDSL modem somewhere out of the way using the same technique.

This is even more likely to negatively affect your sync rate than on ADSL.

You should site the Openreach VDSL modem at the master socket and use your technique to connect the Ethernet WAN port of the VDSL modem to the Ethernet WAN port of your chosen router
