Line fault fixed, speed remains appallingly slow

BT fixed a line fault (reported 28/12/13) early Saturday morning, speeds were - and still are - an awful 0.19mb download.
I was told nothing could be done & to keep router on and that I had to wait 3 days for computers to 'see' line was stable again.
A day later I receive an update to my case to the opposite effect - that my line could indeed be reset, and to switch off router for 10 seconds after 3 hours had passed.
Well, I did this and the speed remains the same, 3 days has also now passed. If the advice to switch off my router was wrong & has now set back this 3 day window to zero again I will not be very amused at all.
I work from home as a web designer, and this is completely crippling my ability to work & earn money! This seeming inability for those that supply my broadband to be able to improve the speed or have any control over it for this period of time after a line fault is fixed is frankly ridiculous.
I've no idea what info might be helpful so here goes:

Hi there,
There was a problem that prevented some SNR resets we submitted yesterday to fail unfortunately. I've just submitted another which appears to have done the trick. Please let me know if not.

Re: Line fault fixed, speed remains appallingly slow

Thanks for the prompt reply, speed now showing as 5.17mb, which while still under half the predicted 11mb for my particualr  set-up, is at last usable.
Should I log off for ten seconds as per previous instruction and can I then expect the figure to rise again over time?
Thanks
