See my latest version of my edit at the start of my previous post .

Thanks. I will reboot it next on Saturday.

Is this correct for my last sync?

no sync change it did this on its own

edit: its gone back slow again. spoke to soon.
sync is still the same. That cap re kicked in. I dont understand this. All tests are doing this again.

Strange all with no sync change

You'd better just wait and see. Sky are clearly doing something automated, so don't interrupt it . Leave it the ten days they said. You have plenty of time after that to revert to 40/10.

I will leave it and see what happens. I might try a 2nd reboot on Saturday not 100% sure yet.

I have noticed a strange pattern that i can't help but think is very odd. If i hardly use the connection for an hour and do a speed test i get the full sync speed in the test like two i have posted above that did get higher speeds. Every single time i do a 2nd test straight after it drops back down to that 37.4 to 37.8 area that i used to get.

It is a perfect pattern it has occurred 4 or 5 times now. I guarantee if i just leave my connection idle for an hour from now and do a speed test i will get the sync speed again, then if i repeat instantly it will immediately drop to 40meg cap.

Tell me that is not odd?

It slowed back down here mid speed test. When it switched to 6 thread part of the test it instantly slowed down and netmeter showed it too. Check out the yellow part of the test.

Caught it instantly capping itself mid speed test

Edit: an hour is a rough estimate of the time it takes between tests before they show the higher sync speed. It may be less but if i keep repeating them every 10 minutes i never get full sync speed. If i wait much longer i do! instantly after back to normal again. I would also like to point out that the entire time router is connected and not disconnecting. It has been up since i last rebooted it which is posted above. The sync speed is remaining identical throughout all these speed tests.

Could be traffic management kicking in perhaps.

Sky do not do traffic management if you mean throttling and such. like i said i know other people in my area with FTTC one has Sky and gets around 58meg or so sync and gets that sync speed 24/7.
I talked to him on whatsapp. He said he never had Sky fibre normal 40/10 he started straight away on pro. It was not like my experience. He said it started at 60 and dropped to 58 and stayed there. No 40meg throttle and speed was always with sync connection speed.

I "know" they don't . But I'm querying if that is 100% true on the 80/20 they don't try hard to sell.

its up to you what you do but an extra £10+ for 7-10Mbps? very very pointless, its only 875Kbps-1.2MB/s more and you wont even notice it imo.

It is a £5 increase not £10

I proved my point that it speeds up. I didn't do speed tests for over an hour and now two speed tests got the new sync speed.

About right for what router is synced at
It may not be amazingly faster than 40meg and i don't know if I'll keep it or revert etc but it is def stable when it runs at the proper sync speed.

If i keep downloading or doing speed tests it will suddenly slow to 40meg without router disconnecting or changing its connection speed etc. I just further proved that if i leave it alone it seems to go up to the sync speed.
