Fastpath not Interleaved

[#1]

Hi All,
This is my first day on Plusnet. I am a refugee from AAISP they were just too expensive.
The good news is that I am connected at 8128/448 kbps with ping times of 15ms.  This indicates to me that I am on "Fastpath not Interleaved".  I'm not complaing! It's just that all the Plusnet documentation suggests that Interleaving is the norm unless you ask for it to be switched off!
I have just confirmed "Fastpath" by telnetting into the router. It gooks pretty good to me.

Interleaving is a form of error correction, your stats are all good and the equipment has decided that it doesn't need interleaving.
Be happy, especially if you game

Is ADSL2+ available at your exchange - if it is you could ask for an upgrade giving a useful speed increase

[#4]

I live in the middle of nowhere. It's Market 1(20CN) for the forseeable future.  I just happen to live right next to the telephone exchange.
I am happy!

Enjoy the extra cash in your pocket each month ... could be well spent on Scotch
