he asked if i was on adsl 1 or +2 and said the exchange had been upgraded to 21cn recently when the fibre work had been done....i don,t have a clue about these things so i could not answer but advised me to speak to my isp....but he did say there were a few problems at the exchange that have now been fixed but still to speak to my isp to keep an eye on any problems with my line....
so the main question for me is which adsl am i on and how do i find out..and is adsl 2 better than adsl 1....
many thanks

If your are using the TG582n modem/router can you post the TG582n Full DSL stats (login required) - the default username is admin and the password is the serial number as on the label or plastic card and starts CP...... (don't post that).
The stats will tell us a lot about your line and connection.

The Plusnet TG582m modem/router is actually a very good modem/router in terms of performance regarding connection to the exchange - it has a "Broadcom" manufacturer chipset inside it, and they are rated to be amongst the best chipsets. So your friend recommending you get rid of it and buy your own is not as informed as they should be.
Your current "sync" speed (the speed you are connected to the exchnage) is actually quite reasonable for your connection, however there are a few errors there and you've had some drops in connection. It suggests some interference or noise on the line. I'll explain more about all that in a minute. Meanwhile could you do a Quiet Line Test dial 17070 and select Option 2, listen for quite a while and tell me if you hear any crackling or other noises. You should ideally do this with a corded phone rather than a cordless. A very very quiet hiss is usually acceptable.

In direct response to your question, as Chris mentioned, you are connected to 21CN equipment at the exchange which provides ADSL modes 2/2+.
A line can also be set to ADSL1 mode on this equipment and is sometimes done to achieve stability, but in your case you are connected in ADSL2 mode because of the long line. This has no detrimental effect and will probably give you better performance overall.
As mentioned there could be noise or interference causing the errors, the Quiet Line Test might have been revealing, but there are other potential causes and to address those, we need to know a bit about how you are connected, so some questions -
Do you have a Master Socket like the one on the left?
Do you have any extension phone sockets, and where are you currently plugged in? Where do you normally plug in?
I expect as part of the Fault Diagnosis procedure you've been through the swap filters, plug into test socket routine but -
Do all your Microfilters look like this?
