Data allowance exceeded, payment limit raised, but speeds still capped?

I exceeded my 'Option 2' data allowance of 15GB, and my broadband speed was heavily capped.
As per an email I received from PlusNet, I went to the following link (https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=control_your_broadband) and increased my monthly spend by up to £10 to cover an additional 10GB. However, my broadband speeds still appear to be significantly capped.
Anyone know how to get the cap lifted immediately?
Thanks,
Peter

I suspect that you have fallen foul of the same problem I had.- a product mismatch on various systems
I suggest calling to try to sort it out
As a matter of interest what did the email say - if it said you could add £5 extra lumps then there is definitely a product mismatch as on Broadband Your Way Option 2 it should be in 1GB chunks

The email and the web control panel allow for 1GB increments.

This is fixed now. One of the PlusNet support team brought forward my switch to the new package.
Cheers ...
