Very slow download speed after fibre upgrade

My fibre broadband (40/20) was installed yesterday (upgraded from plusnet ADSL). I know I am inside the 10 day training time, but my connection speed is 3.5Mb down and 16Mb up. Looking at the plusnet connection details it still says 3.5Mb, which is incidentally exactly the same as when I had ADSL. My BT profile is set for 77Mb with an acceptable range of 40Mb to 77Mb. Has my plusnet account been set up correctly?

Give me 5 minutes, then log in to the router and disconnect/reconnect. You should see an improvement.

Thank you for the replies. I have remotely controlled my partner over the telephone and she confirms that we are now getting 38Mb. Brilliant!
