Stuck bRAS?

I though stuck bRAS was a thing of the past – do such things still happen? Is this why my speeds are down?
Now I don’t fall into the ‘severe’ speed reduction bracket as mentioned by Barry Zubel but…
RouterStats tell me I’m synced to my local exchange at 4672 and have been for some time. Now I would have expected to be downloading at 3500 to 4000 kbps but I never reach 3000 kbps irrespective of the time of day. Plusnet reports my current line speed as 4000
Kitz equates a sync speed of 4672 with a maximum throughput of 4000, which as I say is a fair bit more than what I’m getting.
Is something ‘stuck’ and if so can it be gently bumped? (or are all these numbers confusing me and everything is fine?)
Reading about the poor speeds some others are getting I feel quite awkward asking this but I did use to get better speeds…
I’m on BBYW Option 1 with 5 GB data transfer. I recently changed my product and whilst I’m saving a couple of quid a month I’m not too sure whether that was a good move. I don’t ‘think’ that’s causing my speed problem though…
Incidentally I find eBay has become very slow, especially in the evenings, is it my connection or are they having speed problems as well?
As usual any input welcome.
Thanks,
John

Would you be able to run a BT Speedtest (http://speedtester.bt.com) and post the results here for us to have a look at?
Instructions on how to use the BT Speedtester are here: http://community.plus.net/library/broadband/using-the-revised-bt-speedtester/

It's not a stuck bRAS issue. Your profile at both our and BTs end is set to 4000KBps, which I would expect you to see 3500-3700 at best. I appreciate that you're not seeing that currently.
Dave tells me that he almos managed to balance our network by around 1:30am (after starting work at 9am the previous day), so it's possible that you may see a slight improvement.

This 'problem' has been around for ages, it's not something that appeared a couple of days ago... I know lots of punters would love to be downloading at 2500 - 2800 - it's just annoying as I used to get much better results...
BT SpeedTester reports:-
Download speed achieved during the test was - 2630 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :4672 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 4000 Kbps
Thanks
John

Ticket has been raised (No. 30662464) and I have requested that PN correct the position. There has been further correspondence but it seems that they are unable to act on this simple request. Result is my line is effectively being throttled with download speed on 3 November of 4564kbps and today it is 3439kbps.
