My exchange is 21CN but I believe my connection is ADSL rather than ADSL2+ (upstream sync is 448Kbps) . Would there be any improvement in speed or reliability if I was using ADSL2+? I have a long line to the exchange, 58dB attenuation.

Have you tried connecting the router to the test socket and looking at how it connects then?

You can check your capable speeds <a href="http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/adslchecker.welcome">here</a>. When download speeds are below certain thresholds(normally4MB/s) then re-grading to ADSL2+ is not something we would normally do, as you could even see a slight downturn in your broadband performance, so staying on ADSL1 would perform better which would be the most likely case in your current situation.

My router is on auto and results in the test socket show no improvement.
I guess what I'm getting is as good as it is going to get!

I have a similarly long line, it performed much the same when it was accidentally temporarily running on ADSL2 for a week about a year ago. Something even decided to lower the target SNR margin on returning to ADSL1. But people on the legacy Unlimited package aren't allowed ADSL2.

AFAIK there's nothing stopping legacy Unlimited customers moving to ADSL2+

That should of course be "4Mb/s". A "4MB/s" connection would be very fast!

That's not what I was told when I asked to give it a go not that long ago. I was pointed to this page: http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/speed_guide/adsl2+_faq.shtml (Part 3).
Also, if you're on ADSL2, doesn't setting your router to ADSL1 achieve the same result as asking someone to ask BT to set the line back to ADSL1?

Also setting your router to ADSL1 would then give you the same effect of the line being on ADSL1.
