DS Trained Rate 3232Kbps but getting 1.7Mbit download after thunderstorms

About 4 days back we had thunderstorms which was causing short power outages and adsl outages.
The download speed dropped back to 1.7 from 2.5.
I expected it to recover but it has not.
Can you check what my line is showing as please and bump it back up. Thanks.
P.S. I have had 3mbit download in past when DS Trained Rate was a little higher (Think it was around 3500) - what does it need to be to get 3mbit?

US Trained Rate: 448  kbps
DS Trained Rate: 3232  kbps
Current US data rate during last 30 sec: 353.356  kbps
Current DS data rate during last 30 sec: 43.276  kbps
Local Line Attenuation: 63.0 dB
Remote Line Attenuation: 31.5 dB
Local SNR Margin: 6.0 dB
Remote SNR Margin: 12.0 dB

Hi
IF you look up on this table here http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/IPprofile.htm#IP_and_bRAS_profiles you will need to connect at 3424 kbps to increase your profile, try connecting/reconnecting between 10:00 and 14:00 for best possible connection speed.

Re: DS Trained Rate 3232Kbps but getting 1.7Mbit download after thunderstorms

There are two possible problems
The first is that the BT IPprofile hasn't increased - you can only check this using the BT Speed Test - further diagnostics - but it should be 2850kbps on 21CN
The second is that the Plusnet profile hasn't caught up https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed - it should be 2.8Mbps
As you are apparently on 21CN (from your earlier thread http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,109901 )  the second is almost certainly the problem
One thing which is concerning - previously you reported an attenuation of 58dB and now 63dB - have you changed routers

Thanks.
It is a different router.  We are having issues of smartphones vs routers... very perplexing.
Anyway... the plus.net link is showing as
Phone exchange:
CASTLETON
Estimated line speed:
1.0Mb (Download speed could vary depending on line conditions. Estimates are the maximum speeds that your phone line can support. These speeds are dependent on the package you choose.) - Checked on 2013-07-12 17:49:47
Current line speed:
7.15 Mb
BT is showing as 1.96 download and 0.36 upload.
I think I am on 20CN based on this for my echange http://usertools.plus.net/exchanges/?exchange=Castleton%20(N%20Yorks)&exact=3097
What next?

Odd given the comment by Chris Purvey in the thread I linked to
You need to carry out the BT speedtest again and this time continue to Diagnosic to get the IP profile
But I have a gut feeling that it is stuck at 2Mb given that Plusnet haven't received a delta report

Thanks.
It had a graph showing 1.79 of Max Achievable 2Mbps then following
Download speedachieved during the test was - 1.79 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.4 Mbps-2 Mbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :3.17 Mbps(DOWN-STREAM), 0.45 Mbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 1.75 Mbps

It should have increased by now
I would suggest posting back here on Tuesday if it hasn't changed as The Digital Care Team may need to bounce it into action

I've spoken with our suppliers and you profile is now at the correct value.
