I have a Netgear DGN2000 router. Is there any way to tell if I have been switched to 21CN?
I have checked the router and can't find anything to tell me. Routerstats doesn't help and I don't want to install dgteam firmware unless I need to.

Since joining Plusnet years ago we have had a rock steady 3 Mb connection.
I got a ticket saying the line would be automatically upgraded to (upto 20Meg) and I replied saying no thanks.
I thought that as the line is at least 4 miles long to the exchange I was doing good getting a 2-3 Mb speed. All of a sudden it's gone up

Since your measured upload speed on MyBroadbandSpeed is above 448kbps (and even 832kbps) is looks like you are on 21CN with upstream uncapped. To confirm this do a full performance test (not the beta) at http://www.speedtester.bt.com. If your IP Profile is *not* a round number and it does an upload speedtest for you then you are on 21CN.
It looks like switching to 21CN and ADSL2/2+ has been significantly beneficial for you.

Thanks. I raised a ticket when they told me 21CN was going to be available asking not to be switched which they agreed to.
I was worried with the long line I would not see any better speed and that it might even make it less stable.
I'll just have to see how it goes but so far it looks like I was wrong asking not to be changed.
