Superfast Broadband... sort of

Yesterday, my upgrade to superfast broadband was enabled. Great! The modem now connects at 8128k (a smidge under 4 times faster than it was) but it doesn't download any faster than it did before. A lot of searching around and it appears that the line from the Paper Shop to the exchange is "too good" for the BTWholesale (aka OpenReach) automatic speeder-upper-service (they call it "BRAS uplift") to kick in - so I have to wait 3 days for that. Oh well.
