Morning all,

Just received notification from Freeola regarding upgrading to ADSL2+. My exchange now supports this. We live about 500 yards, in a straight line, from the exchange. I know that this distance makes a difference, but there are other factors such as line noise, which I believe increases with ADSL2+.

Question....Is there any need to take advantage of this upgrade?

It was just the lack of BT info but the apparent change in upstream speed. Normally regrading the 'access technology' is a simple process but it involves more than one system and they have to talk to each other and sometimes they don't get along or one ignores the other!
All it really entails is an order going from the ISP's systems to BT's and then BT's systems issuing a command to the exchange DSLAM to change from ADSL to ADSL2+, software based so no human interaction is normally required.

Morning Eccles ...

Just taken these router stats:

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 16164 Kbps 888 Kbps
Line Attenuation 9.4 dB 3.8 dB
Noise Margin 14.6 dB 14.5 dB

Do I assume that ADSL2+ is now in operation and that all things are correct for the connection?

Yep. all seems correct from this end. 15.37Mbps bRAS profile, which might go up a little but not too far off the predicted speed. Sorry for the delay in getting this sorted.
