21CN/WBC arrived, moved onto ADSL2?

Would it differentiate with ADSL2+ and is there any reason I'd be moved to ADSL2 and not ADSL2+?
Thanks.

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

Quote from: richandsian My router stats (adslctl on a Netgear N300) tell me I've been moved onto ADSL2.

Thanks.
So did you just wake up one morning and find that your router had sync'd at a different speed and was reporting ADSL2 ?
OR did plusnet ask you whether you wanted to upgrade to a ADSL2+ connection ?
My exchange was `meant` to be upgraded by 31/03/2012, and nothing has changed, I still sync at 8192Mbps and have G.992.1 annex A and not ADSL2+(G.992.5)
BT seem to have lots of maybes in place as to when the exchanges are actually upgraded and the service becomes available.

No, I got in early and raised a support ticket asking to be moved to ADSL2+ (the ETA for my exchange was the same as yours). The router switched from reporting G.DMT to ADSL2 this morning.
I'm sync'ing at 3431kbps.

Got a calculator? After an exchange have been upgraded it take an Openreach Engineer 27 minutes to rejumper from ADSL to ADSL2+ So several man years of work to convert the whole of the country. After an exchange has been upgrade it will take a couple of months to change the majority over.

What was the sync speed before being changed? With the reported attenuation you will not see any significant increase in Downstream speed.

The ADSL2+ connection attempt shows a downstream attenuation of 50.1dB (more attenuation on the higher frequencies used for ADSL2+).
@richandsian, if you've just switched then you may be in the 'training period' and hopefully you'll see speeds increase a bit, what speeds did you get on 20CN/ADSL1?

I tweaked the SNR and seemed to be able to get ~4500kbps on connections at 6-7db.
Since that though I have now been moved onto ADSL2+ and my connection speed dropped from ~4500kbps to a pretty unmovable 3068kbps, no matter what I do with the SNR, for the last few days. Be careful what you wish for!

Lines sync'd at 4000kbps or less will see no benefit from moving to ADSL2+
Indeed quite often those longer lines when provisioned on ADSL2+ may find that the sync speed decreases compared to ADSLmax/ADSL1
The higher frequencies that ADSL2+ uses to achieve the higher speeds attenuate more per distance meter run than the lower frequencies used by ADSLmax/ADSL1
So those higher frequencies at the end of a long line have attenuated way down to not just to being unuseable noise, but are now actually ADDING to the general noise on the lines by the time the signal gets to their property. This additional 'noise' then makes the connection worse on ADSL2+ than ADSLmax/ADSL1.
Those that are below 4000kbps break point are generally provisioned on the same ADSL1/ADSLmax but now run from the 21CN network rather than the old 20CN system.
21CN is smarter than 20CN and even those still on ADSL1 as their lines are too long may well find that the connection is more stable under 21CN than the old 20CN system.
21CN manages the lines more aggressively than 20CN changing the parameters as /when/if then line changes, so it may use a 3dB target SNR margin in the summer periods and a 6dB in the winter periods when atmospheric noise picked up by the phone line is generally worse.
As ever some lines are better, some are worse so the above break point quoted of 4000kbps may not apply in some cases and those close to the limit should be investigated on a case by case basis.

Are you plugged into a Master socket or extension socket? Describe you installation, sockets, extensions leads, phones, sky boxes and etc.
Post a complete set of current ADSL Line stats from the modem/router. Re-boot in the morning in daylight hours and immediately grab another set of stats and post them when you are able.

The tests at http://faults.plus.net would be worth running through as they'll help to show the possible causes though if you could post the information Anotherone has asked for then we'll be able to offer more advice too.
If you run through the faults wizard (the link above) it'll submit a ticket through to our faults team who'll get on the testing for you.
