I raised a fault, and I have been impressed with the way the fault has been handled in every respect except for the core problem. The technical support team have responded promptly, but haven't resolved the problem. Previously, I was with a ISP on ADSL, and was getting about 6Mb/s. I moved to plusnet because they offer ADSL2+ (which my exchange supports), and I'm getting pretty much the same speed as I was on ADSL. Surely that can't be right? plusnet were very adamant that I would get 13Mb/s. Why am I not? The support team haven't come up with any answers.

This is happening as your connection seems to be dropping again. Since we last updated you on 30/5/10 the connection has never reached a solid 72 hours of uptime so the speeds never increased.
I've passed your ticket back to our faults team for their attention, once we've resolve the dropping connection issue your speeds will improve.

plusnet confirm that I am on ADSL2+. How do I publish my router stats? (I have a Belkin N1 Vision.)
Since 30/5/10, I have disconnected the router once, on the request of the tech advisor, to do a speed test in the BT test socket. The last communication I had from the faulty team (if you see what I mean :))
was (and I quote): As per our conversation this afternoon, the connection is holding strong and you should start to see some inprovements with the speed within the next 24/48hrs.

Quote How do I publish my router stats? (
Found this on http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/dslrouter/3415923-getting-belkin-n1-vision-stats.html?vc=1
Quote The N1 Vision Modem Router (F5D8632-uk4) has a hidden developer page :
http://your.router.ip.here/wukongjiuwo.html
On this page is a console/command line box. In there, type :
adslctl info --stats
and click enter.
Hey presto - Full Line Stats

Upstream: 444
As far as the other information is concerned, apparently you don't get that with Belkin. I've googled it, and this is a typical comment:
This is one of the big flaws of N1 Vision, you get less vision where your ADSL connection is concerned and there is no way to get more stats.
Others have complained to Belkin about this but it is slow getting any new firmware from them, and may never happen.

Well your are definitely on ADSL2+ and your synch speed of 10789kbps is not that far out for your reported attenuation of 38.5.
Try the kitz calculator here http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/max_speed_calc.php. The 38.5 is actually a calculated one so the static one ( at 300khz ) will be slightly lower so say 37db for the calulator. However at that speed you should be getting an IP Profile of 9000kbps.
Your error counts are slightly high ( CRC = 2019 ) in 1 days 2hours ( < 1000 would be better ) but not excessive. You seem to have had not resynchs in 1 day 2hrs so I suspect you just need ( as Adam suggested ) to maintain a stable connection at your current rate for a few days for your IP Profile to climb up to 9000.

All this is new to me, so most of the data doesn't mean much to me.
Does anything indicate that I will be able to reach the 13Mb/s that plusnet suggested I would get?

The initial estimate when you sign up is based on info from the BTw database on line length I would guess ( maybe someone will correct me if I'm wrong here! ) and the actual line length ( and therefore attenuation ) may be slightly different.
