That's ADSL2, probably set automatically when you connect due to line quality being inadequate for ADSL2+
On some longer lines it can give better results.

A line is provisioned on either ADSL1 (ITU-T G.992.1) or ADSL2+, since you're already on ADSL2 there's nothing you need to ask Plusnet to change.

The only way to get an idea is to post the stats - noise margin, speed and attenuation - for the two routers

The answer is clear - although I was surprised at the big difference.
You are using the DGTeam firmware and have manually reduced the default noise margin from the 6dB default to 2.5dB
You can't do this with the Technicolor Router

I don't know what you are asking for but the IP profile can be obtained from the BT speed test - further diagnostics and the Plusnet profile is here https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed

You could use the Technicolor as a wireless point connecting to the Netgear by cable
