Sky gave me a Sky Q Hub when i moved house in Feb but the WiFi signal was terrible so i just used the old one from my previous property that i was given about 4 years ago. I had the same 40/20 there as well. My new line is capable of the higher speeds.

What was the router you used may I ask?
I live out in the sticks and get 2mb down atm.....
As your sync speed is that low, i’m guessing you probably aren’t on FTTC to begin with - this is for FTTC, not ADSL etc. They are literally removing the profile cap to let each like run at its maximum speed in the same way ADSL Max replaced the fixed profile speeds of ADSL.
Similar here but slightly better at nearly 4mbI live out in the sticks and get 2mb down atm.....
Still paying far too much for such poor speeds but what can you do
I'm currently using:
Sky SR102
Firmware Version 2.91.2110.R
DSL Firmware VersionA2pv6F039m1.d24m
has yours resynced yet?
mine just upgraded yesterday and is giving me 55/15 aswell. i used to have fibre max a couple of years ago before downgrading to fibre unlimited.
i used to get 75/20 back then so i was hoping for the same again.
Technically they appear to be offering the 80/20 profile for the same price as 40/10, the increase is to whatever the maximum your line can sustain, it could be anything from no change if you're already at your lines limit, to doubling it if your line can sustain 80/20.

Your router might tell you what the attainable speed is.
Otherwise, try sticking your number into https://www.dslchecker.bt.com/. I think it works for Sky lines.

Got my email 24 hours ago from Sky notifying me that my line is now upgraded and capable of up to 76mb and should go live in the next 72 hours.
What's your speed estimate on the BT DSL checker? As far as I'm aware, all cabinets offer 80/20. Any limitation is probably with the length of your line to the cabinet.Alas, my cabinet cannot handle doubling my speed so Sky say
I get - assuming this is what you're after:-
My modem is currently connected at:
Connection Speed (Kbps) Down:24998 Up:4962
Interestingly, my neighbour's is this... By a quirk I'm connected to a much nearer cabinet than all the rest of the street
