How long after activation will my FTTC speeds increase?

I am on up to 76mbps FTTC with estimated speeds of around 65mbps. It was activated today after moving house 2 months ago and I am getting speeds of around 20mbps today, when I was on the same plan in my previous property I would always get around 33mbps which in my opinion is not good enough for what I should be getting so I'm hoping it increases more than that.
The reason I ask you to answer from experience only is because I know that we're told that the speed will increase within the first 10 days but from word of mouth and previous experience my speed has never changed from the day of activation.
Thank You

65Mb (Accurate to within +/- 1Mbit) - Checked on 2012-08-14 18:46:55
Current line speed:
78 Mb
BT Speedtest currently shows me speeds varying from 2mbps to 29mbps. (Most often getting a result under 10mbps, the 29 result was show only once)
P.S. I did disable everything that uses the internet before I did the test.

The upstream IP profile is 10 Mbps so that's correct.

If not, what is the justification for ordering the slower variant other than it saves Plusnet money?

The justification is that the estimate is below 40Mb so we place the order at 40Mb. This should have been confirmed during the signup/account change process.
I'm happy to place an order to move to the faster product and see whether there is an improvement to be had though. (order placed)

Perhaps seeing what happens in this case will guide future policy?

Which linecheck was that on by the way? As the main BT one and ours both show 37.7Mb as your estimate.

BT line check (can't remember the web address for it) did show me 65 and Plusnet also told me in an email that it is estimated at 65 so it cannot be wrong.
Here is what it says on my Plusnet account (See Attachment)

Could you please reset my IP profile. BT said that is the problem with my speed and to request an IP profile reset.
Thank You
