My cabinet went live on the 9th July, ordered 40/10 on the 10th.
I intend on switching to pro, but wanted to take advantage of the free activation.
Install date 17th July.
Pretty impressed with a 7 day install...assuming it happens.

It went live, as promised.
I'll wait a day or two then upgrade to Pro.

They did. I should get the full 76/80Mb.
Jammy.
Why don't these ISPs let you purchase the next tier package but if you can't get top whack, just charge a proportionate amount?
For example, my line is maxed out at 40/10 but I can't get 80/20 according to the BT checker presumably due to distance. I have been investigating and it does seem this is the case as other people on the same cabinet can get 80/20. I still haven't found the damn thing even though I'm finding addresses/phone numbers closer to it. Anyhow...
So say I could get 60/15. Why not just charge me a fiver more instead of the tenner/month for 80/20?

Openreach sell products to the ISPs. If the ISP charged you less for not getting the full 80/20 they'd still be paying Openreach in full.

Yeah Openreach decides the line speeds iirc.
They only offer
40/2
40/10
80/20
Correct me if im wrong.

Does anyone know if Sky have the option to set my DLM profile to the speedy profile?
Sky have confirmed that my line has barely any errors on it, so I know its stable, so I would like the DLM not to be so sensitive when I make changes to my set up.
I tried speaking to the Live Chat but they are saying they have no way of way of changing it at all?
Does this sound right?

I don't think they have any control over DLM, it's all dealt with by the DSLAM sorry.

Thought if you had the Pro package you could login to MySky and request a different profile? Stability -Vs- Speed or something along those lines ...

What the DLM profiles do is to allow more or less error seconds per day before DLM does something (turns on interleaving, increases target SNRM, etc.).
They don't actually change how DLM works at all.

Does anyone know how long it takes for Sky to upgrade you from Fibre unlimited to Pro?
They said upto 13 days, which seems a bit excessive as it's just a profile change on their end right?

Interesting. Round at my sis's and she is with TalkTalk Fibre 80/20. She is only connected at 56/20 though which makes me wonder if she's got a bad connection or something. Wonder what Openreach's threshold is for offering the 80/20 product? I don't know what her original offer letter said as to her speed estimates.
EDIT: Seems 56 Mb is the top speed she was offered.
