Bad upload speed.

My brother thinks the u/l is so bad because we live about a mile away from the nearest exchange, so if that is the case I wonder if anyone knows of anything at all to be done? I'm guessing a request to uncap the upload limit will have no effect considering we can't even touch the current capped u/l speed? And what about switching off this interleaving thing...will that help?
Also our ethernet switch/router thing is quite old (Draytek Vigor 2800v), and although it's enabled for ADSL+ I wonder if getting a new one would help improve the speed?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This means we want the attenuation, speeds and noise margin
Note - you are not on cable

Thanks for the quick reply. And sorry yes I meant DSL not cable >_<
Anyway, the router says:
Down Speed: 8128000
Up Speed: 448000
SNR Margin: 6.0
Loop Att.: 22.0
Does that help? I'm totally out of my depth with all this stuff =S
Thanks.

However a quick check to see if you can get 21CN - put your phone number or post code in here http://usertools.plus.net/exchanges/ and does it say anything about WBC on 21CN

Yet http://www.samknows.com/broadband/broadband_checker says firstly: "Wholesale Broadband Connect is available in your area" but then "There is currently no 21CN migration date for your PSTN service".
We're kind of out in the sticks geographically so I guess as you said we're up the creek. Do you think it's worth trying to turn off interleaving as a last resort?

Quote from: delta3 "There is currently no 21CN migration date for your PSTN service".
That isn't relevant - if you can get WBC then you should be able to get a lot faster connection, both down and upstream.

The broadband service on 21CN is known as WBC (Wholesale Broadband Connect) and the exchange checker says that is available. WBC supports ADSL2+ with download speeds up to 20Mbps depending on distance from the exchange. With your attenuation you'd probably get around 16Mbps. More importantly with 21CN free uncapping of upstream is available which should double your upload speeds.
Plusnet can and will switch you to WBC; in fact are you sure you are not already on it but being held back by your router being configured to connect using ADSL1 modulation (G.DMT)? This post mentions what needs to be checked/changed with a Draytek router.

We've checked and the router was set for ADSL1 G.DMT modulation, so we changed it to ADSL2+ (G992.5) and the ADSL Status said the down speed had increased from 8128000 to 13706500. The upspeed hasn't changed (448000) but is obviously not yet uncapped. The router was switched off for 15 minutes but upon restart an online speed test (www.speedtest.net) showed no change in either d/l or u/l speeds.
Is there anything else that needs changing (such as any of the settings in the below pic from our Draytek Vigor 2800v router)?

Should we not see a real-world downstream speed increase by switching the router from ADSL1 G.DMT to ADSL2+ G992.5 ?
Before:
Router 'Down speed' | 8 | [if i understand correctly, this is ADSL1 maximum?] |
Online speed test | ~6.7 | [IIUC - attenuated from ADSL1 maximum] |
After:
Router 'Down speed' | 13 | [shouldn't this be ~20 i.e. ADSL2+ maximum ?] |
Online speed test | ~6.7 | [i.e. no change, shouldn't this be higher on ADSL2+, obviously not 20, as it would be attenuated, more like 16 as suggested by spraxyt, or 13 as per router?] |
