Ah yes, I was tired. It does rather depend on the potential of his line.

Shows 52Mbps on my account too and I haven't contracted BT either. Haven't rebooted modem yet to see if I've got the free uplift though according to articles you need to re-contract. Strange.

I've been on a fixed FTTC sync speed of 54999 kbps down and 10000 kbps up the past week. Rebooting and turning off the router for a while makes no difference and it's fixed at 55/10 now. I was getting a stable 60-63Mb down and 17Mb up before for the past 5 months.

TalkTalk fobbed me off and said they detected no errors on the line and it's within the speeds that my line was said to support. So I'll have to make do now I suppose...

Potential of my line is anything, i'm on FTTP
Edit just to say:
Restart didn't make any difference

A phone maybe but not phone line, traditional voice copper services are dieing rapidly only been skewed up by people having a line just for broadband. Also for wired voice services it can work over fibre. But yes there is still a USO for phone lines, so that alone forces BT to keep copper everywhere.
