I need some information...

I am from Kabirwala, Punjab. I wanna know how can I upgrade to VDSL2? I upgraded my connection to 6mbps yesterday because now PTCL bill for 4mbps and 6mbps are almost the same. I asked the live chat agent but he didnt say much and said I will only get it on ADSL2. Is there anything I can do to get VDSL2? I have already a TP-Link router capable of VDSL2. Only need to upgrade the line. Dont want to get the device from PTCL.

I don't think so. What are the odds that @iNCEPTiON and I both have the same issue?
No one uses the internet other then me at my house. So I'm sure no other device is utilizing the upload speed. Plus I'm the only single user with the VDSL connection in my area.

Would be interesting to see what it turns out to be. Maybe it's an update issue at the exchange end.

People who got the updated speed, which cities are you from?

The only real WiFi channels are 1, 6 and 11. This is due to the 22 MHz channel spacing between all of them.

The performance everyone gets on WiFi channels are different depending on surroundings and interference. In your case, you get bad upload on 11, but I use that for all home routers because none of my neighbors use 11 and it's the least crowded channel.

Yup its been constant after the restart. Send him a screenshot of your upstream and tell him you should be getting 10mbps.

I am trying.. My upload goes to 10Mbps in the start and then comes down to 6Mbps

This is exactly what I faced too. It used to start from 10 and then reduced to 7 and hovered between 5 and 6 in the end. I'm not sure why restarting the modem didn't work for you. Maybe try resetting it?

How to ascertain which channel my neighbour is using?
