New Install FTTC - Very Slow

I had Plusnet FTTC installed yesterday and am getting very slow download speeds. My previous ADSL service (also Plusnet) achieved 4Mbs down / 1 Mbs Up. The new FTTC is achieving 3 Mbs down / 6.5 Mbs up. I understand that distance to the cabinet is a factor, however, it seems wrong that the download speed is slower than the upload and also slower than my previous ADSL service, when the cabinet is about 15% of the distance to the exchange.
Any ideas
Thanks
Mike

ignoring the technical explanation about speed/distance on fibre for the moment
what is the current line speed here https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed and can you run the BT speedtest further diagnostics (this may not work but if it does the IP profile is what we need)

Hi michaelrjones68,
I've taken a look into this and changed your connection profile to match your speed profile. This should mean that you'll see an increase in speed. You may need to disconnect/reconnect to prompt this change to come through. Let us know how you get on.

Oldjim Thanks for the reply
I can't run the BT speed test at the moment (not at home now)
The stats from the Plusnet portal are:-
Estimated line speed:
29Mb (Download speed could vary depending on line conditions. Estimates are the maximum speeds that your phone line can support. These speeds are dependent on the package you choose.) - Checked on 2014-06-03 10:37:42
Current line speed:
3.2 Mb
Thanks
Mike

This may have been because BT can stick you on an open profile for the first two days. My Plusnet profile needed a kick up the bum to match up at first as well.
