My exchange has had ADSL2 for ages now and Im still on original ADSL. I joined in September and then for some reason I got an email in November saying my order was being progressed. Unfortunately it didnt give details on what order was progressing!!! I was wondering if that was when I was maybe supposed to get switched over.
Although looking at all the forum chat regarding ADSL2 I dont know if its a good idea!! Hehe!! Anyway some info would be good.
Cheers.

So I suggest you raise a ticket and first ask if you are on the 21CN network. If you are then ask to be changed to ADSL2+, and while you are at it get the upload limit removed.

SQUEAK.
Also, I've placed your modify order to move you to the up to 20Mb service which is due to complete tomorrow. That's also with an uncapped upstream.
Hope that helps,

Is there anything I need to do my end when this change happens? Are there any settings I need to change or will it be automatic?

I hate to tell you this, just cause you are in essence only a few hundred metres away from the exchange doesn't mean your line will be this length.
As the crow flies, I am 1.1km away from my exchange, but my actual line length is around 2.6km meaning I get around 13mb at the moment, and that is with a current fault with current copper lines in place.
Give it time, as when you move to ADSL2+ on the 21CN side of things, you go through a whole new 10 day training period as you did when you were put onto ADSL Max...
Hope this clears things up a abit.

Edit: If you put the downstream attenuation reported by your router in to http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/max_speed_calc.php you will get a good estimate of your actual line length and the speed you can expect.

Leave your router permanently on and reboot once a day only between 10am and 3pm, then keep an eye on your up time to make sure you are not get disconnects between. It will take a little while but you should see BT reduce your target noise margin which will give you better speeds.
