Essentially we've received an update earlier than expected and it's good news.
I apologise if the current situation hasn't been explained to you clearly, however the most recent update is actually that your order is no longer waiting and has an appointment booked in for 25/02/15 between 8am and 1pm. Our suppliers have simply pushed this appointment through to us as the earliest available date.
I hope it all goes well for you.

There is no 10 day training period for FTTC (that is only on ADSL)
What does the Plusnet line speed show at https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed
This may not have been set to the correct speed yet.
If it is not showing the faster FTTC speeds then phone or chat with Plusnet and ask them to correct it.
Once Plusnet correct this value, or if it is showing the correct faster speeds then log into the router, click "disconnect", wait a minute and then click "connect"
And speed test the results via Ethernet cable again.

Telephone number:01752 xxxxxx Phone exchange:CROWNHILL estimated line speed:74Mb (This may vary between 54.6Mb and 74Mb) - Checked on 2016-01-31 22:27:08 Current line speed:4 Mb. This seems to be the last time PlusNet checked my speed etc.
I have added further details ( as per above) to my question to my ticket number in response to PlusNet answer stating that my original question which was raised 31/01/2016 is now on hold until Friday 26 Feb 2016 7am.

So the line speed is set to 4Mbps so if you want it to be sorted out quickly then you should phone/chat with Plusnet. It takes the staff about 30 seconds to do.
This forum is called a community forum so Plusnet staff may not see this thread and there is definitely no guarantee that they will pick it up from here.
At the end of the day, it you are happy to wait for Plusnet staff to take a look at the issue on the ticket when they get around to it, good for you. For me, I'd have been on the phone as soon as I saw that speed.
Didn't mean this to sound harsh, just want to point out the reality of the Plusnet forums and support mechanisms.
Edit to add last line.

Firstly I have no other devices coming off the router so no problems with PS4 games consoles etc.
Second I have tried on several occasions to telephone PlusNet having to wait up to over 1 hour to get no answers, timed out as it took me over 8pm!
Had emails sent directly to my email accounts last one stating my current ticket will be looked at again Friday 26 Feb at 7am, this has passed and still no outcome.
In conclusion all I need is for my speed profile to be altered from standard broadband to the 40 mgb fibre, not rocket science.
I am also aware that from my forum thread that PlusNet staff have been reading and replying from here.

The speed profile issue crops up here on a weekly basis, why Plusnet can't create a fix for it is beyond me!

Telephone call resulting in Adam discovering that the person who had closed the ticket and stated had changed my speed profile to fibre had not done so, Adam arranged there and then to do this and within 10 mins all sorted now getting 37.5 mgb download I said it was not rocket science PlusNet just need better communications between themselves and customers.
