Type of Connection

[#1]

I have been asked if I am on WBC ADSL2+ or IPStream ADSL Max.  How can I find out.  I use a Netgear DG834v4 but could find no clues there or on the Plusnet connection pages.

Hi Ransomefan
You are on WBC ADSL1

Thanks Jojo.  Is WBC ADSL1 the connection you get if you have in the past changed to ADSL2+ and then " the signal type on the line  has been changed from ADSL2+ to standard" (quote from previous ISP)
because the line was so noisy?

No, when we change someone over to 21CN we will generally place them on ADSL1 rather than ADSL2+ if they sync below 4000k

Thanks again Jojo.  In http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,97223.0.html it was explained to me how the new BT IP profile works and how  the Plusnet profile only went in 500 kbps steps.  As I had better download speed when I was on the default setting I wondered  -  is it possible to manually set my profile to,say, the next step up ie. 3000kbps ?

Hi Ransomefan,
What does BT speedtester report your IP profile as?

Hi Jojo,
BT tester reported IP profile at 2738 kbps on 12th, 13th and today 14th July. DSL 3104kbps

Hi Ransomefan,
I've moved that up to 3000 for you now.

Thanks Jojo,
Download speed has gone up so that will not only be 5 stars for customer service and speed but hopefully reliability at the end of the month . (Tbb survey)

Since Sept 11th   my sync has been consistently over 5000 kbps ( currently 5312) with steady noise margin between 6 and 4db and a BT IP profile of  4686kbps. Is it worth switching to ADSL2+?
Given my attenuation I think I can answer my question from this graph  http://www.avforums.com/forums/attachments/networking/28942d1145704731-best-broadband-adsl-att-vs-sp...

I'd be happy to do it if you want.
