17. I’ve been a customer for some time. Will I get an upgrade to ADSL2+?
Provided your exchange has been enabled, certain older products will be included in our upgrade programme of batch migrations. We’ll give you more information about these plans shortly.
That's October so I think shortly is up any news on which retired products will be able to take advantage of ADSL2 yet?

Seriously, PN are not in the habit of changing your product even if new technology takes over, if you get ADSL2+ and do not request a product change then you will likely get the best of both worlds, they're pretty decent that way.
I took part in the ADSL2+ trial and subsequently changed to 'unlimited', I now have ADSL2+ Unlimited (never offered as a product combination), needless to say I am happy with my PN product.
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

that is actually my point. PN do net generally force any customers to give up old products that suit, even if new technology provides an improvement to your product I expect that PN will allow you to retain the product you have if it suits you, you could end up like me on an obsolete product with up-to-date speed improvements retaining the featrures you currently value.
In my experience, this is the difference (despite recent criticism) between PN and most other ISPs.
I hope you continue to enjoy the product you have for as long as you feel it is the best for you. I am not aware of PlusNet ever forcing existing customers to change from ;legacy' products', if you're happy then stick with it.

I stuck with the account (even though it costs more) for the same reasons you gave.
I've checked on an adsl2+ estimator with my routers current sync results, which are:
down speed: 2560000 (has been as high as 3100000 but was unusable)
snr: 5 but has been up to 9 during the night.
loop att: 55 (used to be 59 at 1Mb/s)
and it gave me a result of a sync between 2.0 and 4.0 Mb/s which is just about where I am now. I've checked a few loop attenuation curves that compare adsl max and adsl2+ and I'm right at the point where the two curves join so switching wouldn't improve my situation that much.
I use plusnet at a work site and I'll be interested to see how fast that will go as that exchange is due to change in March and that sync's at over 6.5Mb/s

Quote from: dgwebb when my exchange moves (sometime in 2023) to ADSL2,
Did you mean 2023 ? ?
I doubt if we will be using ADSL of any description by then ?

So as PN are switching people to 21CN but keeping them on ADSL1 speeds (I think that's how it works) can we get the update of which accounts PN will allow to switch to ADSL2?

My work place is only 1.5km from its exchange so I'm hoping that will be more as I use a site to site vpn between two buildings.
From the website I'm assuming to get adsl2+ we'll need to change account which I'm loath to do as it ties me to a 12month contract I'm unlikely to switch but I avoid being tied to any provider for that long, business accounts I expect it but not for private home use.
