a) raise that limit temporarily with commandline calls (see the docs)

if you could point me to the sub command that would be great - this is about the \
initial first sync

I have set sync rate in my config (none, 100M, 300M, 800M) nothing changes. I have \
also read about the c-max-rate and c-fill-target but they all have to do with resync \
and nothing changes re first sync

Your drbd is set to _want_ only ~40MB/s for sync. You can:
a) raise that limit temporarily with commandline calls (see the docs)
b) raise that limit permanently in the config files (see the docs too)
c) expect the normal replication to be faster then that (provided your
network is faster) as normal replication works as fast as the
connection allows.

The sync is usually limited in transfer-rates so it doesn't eat all the
bandwidth and leaves nothing for the already running resources (or the
running of the syncing resource).
