I had to restart my router a couple of times this last week ( 3 or 4 times I think since monday) - not because f the weather but a quirk with my work blackberry which i need to connect via the wifi (UMA). Ive been working at home and needed to be available by phone. Recently I've been getting speeds of around 5500 kbps for the last month or so but yesterday ( before the switch over it was more like 4500 kbps as the Noise margin had been increased to 9.5. I thoughted I might need to reconnect again for the 21CN magic to start but its reconnected at around the same speed and the same noise margin. Another factor is We have had atrocious weather here ( Norfolk ) all week. I dont think thats related but if anything it wont have helped
From what I have read here and in support I now need to leave alone for a while. I guess it might have this status and speed for sometime. Is there anything I need to do or will it the line speed up. If I do nothing it might stay at this sub optimal speed.? and can I expect better things in the long run now im on ADSL2?
Any advice gratefully received

But are you sure you are on 21CN? Your SNR target should have been reset to 6 and you would hope for an increased speed from 5500kbps.

In answer to the original question - they can do nothing until the 10 day training period has ended then they can initiate a retrain

What is your upload sync speed - if it isn't 448kbps you may be on 21CN
Another is to run the BT speed test - is your IP profile 88.2% of your sync speed - if it is you are on 21CN hence ADSL2

Having said that your download speed is very low - before the change did you ever try using the test socket
Compare
Noise Margin: 3.6 dB
Connection Rate: 4896 Kbps
Line Attenuation: 50.0 dB
This is with a 6dB default

The master socket is in the most inconvenient place in the house. There is no mains electirc socket anywhere near it for the router and i dont want loads of trailing wires so im preprared to compromise. I'm hoping that onceit all settles down I'll be getting 5000kbps. That is fine for me. We stream a bit in SD and thats fine for that.
I think being patient is all that's required for me now.

I suspect that could be a spurious service notice added on your account when you ordered Unlimited which doesn't actually do anything, because it is spurious. If it did do something your service would be changed from uncapped to capped (and it hasn't been).
In the first days of Unlimited there were several instances where this service notice got a mention, unfortunately not always spurious.
If you do a speedtest at http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/, and click the Further Details button afterwards does it record upload speeds? (That used to be a mark of 21CN lines, I assume it still is even with the new tester.)
