BT have recently announced that they will be upgrading my local exchange to ADSL2+ this month.
I'm a long way from the exchange (Hence the oh so sloooowww speed). Does anybody know if I'm likely to benefit from this upgrade & what sort of speed I might get ?
My current line stats are :-
Downstream Upstream
Data rate(Kbps)
448Kb 384Kb
Noise Margin
9 6
Output power(dBm)
119 142
Attenuation(dB)
83 3

I'd say it would make no difference given the length of line.
I might be wrong though, would need someone with better knowledge to have a look.
Edit: Have you tried the BT Wholesale ADSL checker? https://www.btwholesale.com/pages/static/Community/Broadband_Community/Coverage/ADSL_Availibility_Ch...

Has anyone seen my signature, it's gone missing.

I've just checked the speed estimate for your line of 21CN (the technology that can support speeds of up to 20mb speeds) and that shows me a 1mb estimate, which granted isn't that high but could still potentially almost double the speeds you're experiencing now.
I'll go ahead and place an order for you now. That should complete tomorrow .

I don't think the exchange has been upgraded yet - The Exchange Status Checker says
Quote WBC Rollout Status
BT have announced a ready for service date for this exchange. The estimated go live date is between 1st November 2012 and 30th November 2012.

It's definitely been upgraded. I noticed an automated order due to upgrade your service on the 22nd. I've cancelled this which should allow me to place a new order tomorrow for you that should complete on the 8th.

Excellent news. Any increase in speed would be welcome.
Thanks for your help with this.
I'll post my speeds after the upgrade.

Hi there,
I've update the ticket but just wanted to say it's been ordered for you now and is due to complete on the 14th. Hope you do see a fair improvement to speeds.
