FTTC installed but speed quite far from IP profile given

I got my Fiber broadband (80Mb) installed today. While I can see a huge difference with what I had before, I'm somehow surprised to not have a quicker download as expected.
The IP profile given by PlusNet is the following:
Postcode:
Phone exchange: BERMONDSEY
Estimated line speed: 80Mb (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 2013-10-16 11:59:21
Current line speed: 78 Mb
However the BT Wholesale speed test gives me the following:
Download (Mbps): 59.17
Upload (Mbps): 15.7
And most of the speed tests I did on the Net gave me a download closer to 50 Meg...
Does this look right to you?
Thanks for your help
Vincent

Good point. Wireless. I tried wired but got limited to 10 Mb. My laptop has a Gb Ethernet port, I believe the PlusNet router too?
Or is it the cable? Getting confused!

I'd try the wired connection again.

Ok I've finally managed to test by wire properly.
Better results:
1; BT Wholesale: Down: 73.4, Up: 10
2. http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk/.
Strange results there (and ran it 3 or 4 times, similar results): Down: 40, Up: 8
3. http://www.speedtest.net/
Down: 69, Up: 15.6
Does that leads me to conclude I do not have any pb on the line and with the profile but that the PlusNet router is only average?

Advise to invest in a better router?

Getting 50-60mb/s wirelessly is pretty good actually - I only manage around 40-45 on my laptop and that is with a TP-Link 300Mbs router (not the Plusnet one).
Personally I think you'll find the 50Mb+ is fine for 99% of everything you do so maybe stick with your current router and see if you are happy.
Also try thinkbroadband for a fairly accurate speed checker.
Welcome to Plusnet by the way
