Not to bump this, but I thought it worth an update.

After 50+ days of solid synch, DLM finally re-synched me on an open profile. Can't believe it took that long, or that it finally happened either.

Back to 80/20 max, and getting 72/20, rather than 68/19.

The difference you can see must be astounding.

Now up to 74/20

Mine seems to have been hit by the engineers installing a second cab. Sync dropped from 70Mb/s to 60Mb/s (oddly without dropping my PPP connection). Dunno how long it'll take to bounce back but no point trying to prompt it. The engineers have been there over a week now. They've even put tents over the PSTN cab and the new FTTC cab.

I'm surprised it's taking that long for them to install another cabinet.

That's a long time for DLM to restored your sync rate back. Mine only took 42 hours last year to restored back when DLM reduced 79999/20000 to 63999/20000 because of my own fault of swapped too many diffrerent router and modem without power down for 30 minutes.

Sheesh. Came home tonight and now another van has turned up. They aren't BT - it's one of their contractors 'Cass' I think. They've also opened a manhole cover on the opposite side of the roundabout and were poking about in there. Blocked off half the main road into our estate and causing chaos.

Surely it shouldn't be that difficult to install a second FTTC cabinet. The hard work is already done isn't it?

You did very well. It can and does take many months for DLM to relent.

DLM is now very slow to relent, and sometimes never does. It didn't always act this way. @max's experience is, unfortunately, an outdated one.

Well that cheers me up no end. Is there a way to request that 'The stupid pillocks messing about with my cabinet put things back the way the found them when they're done?"

Probably not
