I thought I'd just append to this thread of yours as I am having a similar issue to you with similar kit.
Today I received a message from Plusnet saying my 21CN regrade was now complete and I should reboot router to get new, faster line speed. I thought this meant I was alone on ADSL2+ but I'm guessing I'm still on ADSL1. (I had asked for ADSL2+ upgrade a few weeks ago you see.)
Anyway I have a Draytek Vigor 2820n router and like you, mine will only connect as G.DMT, not ADSL2+. Line speed appears to be the same (I can't run the broadband checker speed test tool as it's stopped working for me today - probably my Firefox 3 or something has been upgraded and stopped that working.)
Anyway, as your Draytek router is now connecting OK using ADSL2+ I assume that my router should work on ADSL2+ too and the reason it's only working on ADSL1 currently is because the Plusnet end is still set to be ADSL1.
Plusnet, can you confirm that that is the case?
So, finally, what do I need to do to get to ADSL2+? Apart from ask, do I need to go through a 10 day period of 'training'? What does this mean/entail?
Finally, my current connection details are this:
> adsl status

I'm about half a mile from the BT exchange, pretty much straight up a straight road. So, given that and my current SNR and attenuation values, will ADSL2+ give me much faster speeds than I am already getting?
Thanks for any answers in advance!

Or 15meg, like me. There's nothing better than seeing the ADSL2+ coming up on the status page...
Good luck in the ADSL casino....

Anyway, I got the speed checker working (I think it was my IcedTea Java plugin for Firefox 3 - I just switched to the Sun Java/JRE plugin instead and it's working again)
So, my current slow-ish speed is:
Today 23:15 4972 kbps (622kB/s) 377 kbps (47.1kB/s)
Would be nice to have a faster UPLOAD speed, for VoIP video phone calls etc. Did your UPLOAD speed increase much?

Quote Oh how I'd love to see ADSL2+ come up on the status page.
@Will177, You might want to look at this thread http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,81878.0.html , might be a similar problem...

@Will177, you're on ADSL1 on 21CN, we're submitting a regrade now, will complete tomorrow. You should get a very good speed with those stats.
