You may be in the initial 'training period' in which case the sync and everything might be up and down for a few days until it settles (assuming your line is reasonably stable).
http://www.speedtester.bt.com/ should give the BT line profile and https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed shoulg give the plusnet profile (current line speed).
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

Quote Download speedachieved during the test was - 1794 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 400-2000 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :3456 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 2000 Kbps
So I guess I either need PN to ask BT to kick the profile or I can just wait.
The previous owner only got these sort of speeds but I suspect I can get more if I can get my profile upped

Plusnet do have control over the Current line speed setting in the Member Centre, but this should automatically update to match the BT IP Profile within a few hours.

Router stats is running ....
Edited to add : after 8 minutes of up time I've gone from 1 to 10 seconds on Local Error
I've just looked at the cabling and in my old house the cable from the pole came over to the house to a box then down the wall and through to the master socket - with the cable to the master socket being the same black screened cable that came over from the pole.
Here there is a grey box on the outside of the house with a nice big fat cable coming into it and then from that and through the wall and over a door frame to a master socket (which doesn't have an integrated ADSL connector and is one of the small square BT branded sockets) the cable is flimsy white cable that looks more suited for an extension cable and not the sort of cable I'd expect to see going to a master socket.

That's probably an external NTE illustrated by Kitz in the lower part of this page. This provides no test socket for customer use. I think the best that can be done for testing is to unplug everything else, just plug a filter into the first indoor socket and the router into that.
