ADSL or ADSL 2+

Just been doing some research and my router says
DSL Connection
Link Information
DSL Type: ITU-T G.992.1
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 640 / 2,688
My understanding that ITU-T G.992.1 is ADSL and ADSL2+  is ITU G.992.5 Huh
Clarly I want to be with ADSL 2+ if possible - - I'm not sure why I wasnt it in the first place as this line is only about 2 years old and the exchange has had ADSL 2+ for much longer than that ?Huh
Ticket no #81317046

Re: ADSL or ADSL 2+

The odds are with that speed you wouldn't see any benefit
Please post your router stats - noise margin, speed and attenuation

Re: ADSL or ADSL 2+

Hi Mal08,
I can see that Ticket: 81317046 is currently in hand with our Faults team. I have submitted the order to regrade the broadband service to ADSL2+ and updated the ticket.

Re: ADSL or ADSL 2+

You might just squeeze a few hundred Kbps out of the line. I sync at up to 3.6Mbps using ADSL2 (not 2+) on a line with 60.9dB attn - it  has been known to sync at over 4Mbps (but only for a few minutes Shocked )

Re: ADSL or ADSL 2+

Even a few hundred k would be good - as we want to subscribe to an film streaming service.

Re: ADSL or ADSL 2+


My ticket no #81317046 says
The next action on your Help Assistant Question is due on Tuesday 4th March at 7:00am. This Question will remain open with the CSC - DSL Faults ADSL2 - Speed until this time.
Nothing has happened since then - and it's 3 days later Huh
I see from the router that it is now connected as ITU-T G.992.3 - ADSL2 ?
I'm assuming this is an interim stage until you can change the circuit to ITU-T G.992.5 = ADSL2+
I tried rebooting router to see if that was needed but no change?Huh

Re: ADSL or ADSL 2+

The automatic system will have put you on ADSL2 not ADSL2+ because of your attenuation
You would see no advantage in ADSL2+ because the higher frequencies available on that would be attenuated to zero
What are the router stats
