Incorrect details in 'My Connection Settings' effecting speed?

Hi Guys,
So after a few weeks of hassle my Fibre broadband connection finally got activated.
Now I know these things can take up to 10 days to settle down but my current download speed is around 5mbps, whilst my upload is 16mbps.
I could understand if it was a little down on the estimate of 60, but thats kinda crazy.
Anyways, long story short, when I check my connection details in My Profile, all my details are out of date (phone number, exchange, estimated speed etc).
Could this be effecting my speed? I would have thought Plusnet would have updated these when I moved two weeks ago, but they havent. I did call up and ask that they be updated but they havent got round to it it would seem.
I hope that my download speed gets better than 5mbps, as thats a little bit of an anticlimax after all the Fibre hype.
Thanks

The profile will be the problem
Just to confirm this please run the BT speedtest then Further Diagnostics which will give you the IP profile

The easiest thing to do is to wait until tomorrow and I am Sure the Digital Care Team will sort it
