1. is the very high error count alot are getting on adsl2
2. this one didnt surrpise. hardly any increase in down speed in my 51db atten line cattergory but i was keen due to increase in upload sync but reading the speed theard most in my line length dont even get an upload sync above or near my stable never change 832kbps max prem current sync.
3. even people syncing 13000kbps+ are geting put on interleaving automaticaly so i would think fastpath on my line with adsl2 would be a no no.
with all these problems iam thinking my stable standard adsl with max prem and fastpath is abetter option than adsl2 with a slim chance of 500kbps extra down and probally a 50/50 chance of geting a upload sync above 832kbp. and interleved path
so whats the options once WBC adsl2 is the norm. what other products are going to be on offer as to be honest my standard adsl line setup as it is looks tip top and your going to have to cut my phone pole down with a axe to get me to go on adsl2
edit= reading tech guys post you offer to switch him to adsl if his extrmely long line dosent like adsl2.
on this wbc standard adsl product can you still have max prem on it and not be stuck at normal upload sync?

Thanks for your time - I'm sorry that I didn't actually know what your name is! Like I mentioned, we love reading your posts and there was no sarcasm in that at all
As I mentioned, you'd be welcome to try out the new service once your exchange has been enabled, and we'll do everything we can to make it as good as possible, and it the worst came to the worst we can look at moving you back.

yes as talked about i would be happy to give adsl2 a trail hopefully end of march but i dont hold much hope on BT sticking to that esp with all the snow delying things of late. But like said my concern was what products where going to be avalable once the wbc adsl2 was the norm as i didnt want BTw forcing resellers to make end users stuck on the end of long damp strings stick with adsl2 enduring high error counts,resyncs resulting in lower downstream sync than adsl and lower upload sync than i get now on max prem and of cause bag fulls of lag.
So yes would be happy to trail adsl2 if when i get enabled to help PN get some extra feed back from a gamers point of view on adsl2 and i would also ask other gamers on enabled or soon to be enabled exchanges to have a think about trailing the adsl2 safe in the knowledge PN will get you back on adsl and a stable line the same as you have now if adsl2 turns out to be pants on your line and no amount tweaking gets thinks right.
As for not knowing my name to be honest i was abit mythed when i was told PN was wanting to speak to asbo dog and on hearing asbo my first instink was to run up staris pack a bag find me passport and fly to the costa del sol ;D. On top of that i was abit stresed as i had a samsung repair man in my living room with my 32" LCD tv in bits on the floor with one of my dogs loose causing mayhem.
As i perdicted before hand i got the old teeth drying from the repair man followed by it needs a new panel and we havent got one in stock will have to phone up and get one ordered in eta 3 days which at this time of the week means minum of some time nxt week for repair
The police seems to think its asbo but in reality iam saint luke
thanks again for the call for in reality was such a small concern that other isp's would of pressed the delete button on.
edit= i was one of the first to post that i wanted to trail adsl2 when the theard first opend on the forum and sure that any one that said they wanted to but exchanges was not enbaled yet had there names taken down. But then later on the trail sign up was moved to the proper trail sign up area of the PN website. does this mean i have to put in request there to get back on the queue for adsl2 trail as i did not do this once seeing the feed back from all ready enabled customers

Dave will have a list of customers who have requested to be on the trial, before we opened it up to the ticket path, so you'll be fine.
I'll place your order myself if I have to
[me=Jameseh]makes mental note that he should probably find out how to place orders.[/me]

Best bet is to start a topic suggesting that Xbox sucks and put your message in there he is bound to read it, along with asbo and a few others. But seriously James is always easily found in the forums, send him a message.

The Usertools information is up to date - BT updated their list on Thursday last week.
@Jojo
Unfortunately, your speeds aren't great because you're a really long way away from the exchange. You might be able to make a slight improvement by making sure that your router is connected to your master socket and to try using different filters, and making sure all of your telephony devices (and Sky box if you have one) is plugged into a filter before it connects to the telephone socket.

Realistically, the only thing you would gain from ADSL2+ would be an improved upload speed.
Your speed might increase a little, but it wouldn't be much.
