I'm confused... I thought I knew how BT's BRAS profiles worked

Yup.  That fixed it. ...

PN are ostrich like when it comes to this issue, they had it ever since MaxDSL was implemented.
Sometimes for some reason the PN systems do not provide the speed stated on the portal.
You do not need to reboot your router or unplug the phone line, both of which could cause you to sync below 2272kb/s and cause you problems again. Your router is likely to have the option to 'Connect' and 'Disconnect', this will drop the LCP/PPP connection to PN, when you reconnect the RADIUS systems see you login to PN and sets your profile correctly again back to 2Mb.

Yup, it does.  I shall use that instead.  Good call

Hi mate,thanks for that information.I have been told that it should all fall into place in a day or 2,if there is still no problem on my line,then i should get back my 2000 setting.I must admit that trying to get the difinitive info about wether or not to restart your mod/router or not and what is the very best or worst thing to do,has driven me mad these last couple of weeks.People talking about blip logic,which at this time i believe has been upgraded to another type of quick acting/thinking new system,as we speak.Bottom line half the time i think,is Bt and everone else,hasnt a bloody clue how and when this system does or doesnt work.Its a bollocks up and thats the truth,everyone knows plusnets life and our enjoyment would be improved if we hadnt got to give them hassle sometimes about speeds,snrs and resyncs,blah,blah,blah.Hope we dont get any thunderstorms,sandstorms from africa,general diteriation of the world water levels and a sunami or anything and if we do,it might give us something more exciting to do than sitting in front of the dreaded screen for a fortnight checking wether or not your sync speed has gone back up again.

Hi Owlguard,
I posted last year about restarting your router and to be honest, there is no 'right' answer that suits everyone.
The linked post may be worth a read though
