@Empire From that information, you are connected on a Fibre To The Cabinet circuit - in other word, fibre as far as your nearest street cabinet, with the connection from there to your master socket being your copper telephone line.

@Empire 

Your speed is as good as it gets on Fibre Extra. Depending on how you renew, the new contract will either start immediately or on your next billing date. In your case it was immediately.
