Internet went down earlier got the red light on the plusnet router when it came back my profile changed to Estimated line speed:
53Mb (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 2013-05-02 20:08:42
Current line speed:
48.8 Mb

The only figure that matters on that PlusNet page is the Current line speed. The estimate side is for a different purpose altogether and isn't of concern wrt your current problem.

The Current line speed is the fastest PlusNet will allow data from their routers to you. It should automatically change to slightly below the BT IP Profile as reported by the BT Wholesale speed test, within a few hours of a sync speed change.

You may have noticed that your 'Estimated line speed' never changes. It is just the estimate, as it says, back in the day when you took out the product and, as RobertoS says, has no relevance to you current issues. As I pointed out earlier, you should be concentrating on 'Current line speed'.

Yes i understand that.But saves people scrolling to see what my estimated line speed should be compared to the current line speed.
My current line speed dropped due to the outage.

In my view, sod your estimated line speed! Sorry don't know any other way to say it .

Even so we're only talking about a couple of meg here and there. It should sort itself out if your line is stable, if it hasn't risen to match your IP profile within a day or so then raise a ticket or post on the community forum and someone should sort it out pretty quickly.

Nobody cares.

The ones that know it is there know it is meaningless, and may not even be right at any given time, and the ones that don't know it is there won't be reading this.
