"New line speeds"

Hi,

Has anyone seen their new ADSL2+ line speeds take effect yet?

I say this because my router is still showing the 8Mb sync rates and its almost 10pm.

Thanks,

Neil

Thankyou for that.

Hello,

I've just looked at you account and the switch over the 21CN is showing as pending, so it is going through but will take a week or so providing everything goes smoothly.

My exchange is showing as having already been upgraded, and I live a matter of feet away from the exchange.

I have a Belkin N Wireless Router (via ethernet).

My router admin page stats currently show:

Data Rate: 8128 448
Noise Margin: 10 27
Output Power: 122 199
Attenuation: 26 14

I would assume these stats would be incorrect for the regraded line, as I shouldn't be syncing at 8128/448.

I powered the router down earlier for over 20 minutes but this made no difference.

Your adsl checker page is still showing 'existing' upto 8mb, 'coming soon' expected adsl2+ upto 16Mb.

The new ADSL2+ speeds only effect those who are lucky enough to be connected to an exchange that has been upgraded to BT's 21CN network. See here for a list of exchanges. If you are on a 21CN exchange then you line must have been switched to ADSL2+ and your router must be configured to use ADSL2+. Having ADSL2+ does not necessarily mean a higher speed. Like standard ADSL, ADSL2+ is effected by your line quality and distance from the exchange. Those with lower ADSL sync speed will see the smallest improvement unfortunately.
