Training, use plusnet router?

Our line recently went active and rather than using the plusnet supplied router/modem I'm using a new Draytek Vigor 120 modem and my cable router. I'm just wondering if for the training period I should be using the plusnet modem or does it really not matter?
The draytek is reporting we're on G.DMT and syncing around 6/0.4 megabit up/down with an SNR around 6/7 and att around 42. Should this be switching to G.992.3 or G.992.5 at some point? Its been on all night and stable.
Thanks,
Ste

Regarding changing from G.DMT the first question is whether your exchange is 21CN enabled - check here http://usertools.plus.net/exchanges/
If it is then I should try setting the modem to auto rather than specifying it

The modem is set to mixed modulation rather than specifying one. I assume this means its set by the line?

Going to ADSL2 should give you higher speeds
I suggest leaving things alone until Monday when the staff on here should be able to check

Jim's got it spot on, I've just placed an order to move you onto ADSL2+ with uncapped upstream which should complete tomorrow. Not sure what the speed increase will be like but hopefully you'll see some

Just to check in terms of training, is syncing the only thing that matters? As I'm currently using a separate modem and using my cable router to connect via PPPOE I'm wondering if rebooting the router but leaving the modem synced would make it think it was a disconnect and the line was unstable?

The training period will recalculate your Fault Threshold Rate and Maximum Stable Rate so it's important we keep a stable connection throughput the training period.
