I've been on ADSL2+ for some time, Karoos blurb says upto 24Mbs. I know of
someone in a city centre flat who gets 16Mbs but I only get a fairly
consistent 4.4Mbs download and 0.5Mbs upload. My exchange is about a mile
and a half from here. No fibre-optic likely in the near future either,
Kingston Communications are concentrating on the City Centre and the
competitive areas on the margins of its empire first.
Cannot join you, sneaked in here enroute the bathoom, suffering a visit from
TJ's friends I have nothing in common with.

I am only about 200m from the original exchange but I've no idea where the
new one is. Must find out..

I would imagine that changing to ADSL+2 would not make a significant
difference, it all depends on your copper cable and distance from the
exchange.
I imagine that ADSL+2 means being able to send double the packets at the
same time (one packet per line)
I am on BT, my exchange is around 4 miles away, and now that I have a new
cable from the nearest access point, my speed has gone up from 1.8 to 2.3.
A Fibreoptic cabinet has been installed about 100 yards from me, and if I
switch my line to the box, when I get the option, I should see an increase,
as it would be the equivalent of being next to the exchange, hopefully.

I'll try again and see if I can get on to IVAO tonight. The signs are good
and I have made due sacrifices to the Gods.
In the meantime I've had my connection upgraded to ADSL2+ but I can't see
any obvious difference in download speeds. I've checked the router and it
supports this protocol but I was getting about 6Mbps before upgrade and now
it is reporting about 6.8Mbps (they claim 16Mbps in their blurb). The only
major change is in upload speeds and this seems to be about 4 times faster.
Some of my web pages are quite big and update regularly so firing off a few
before saw them sent before I could blink.
I wonder if it will make any difference to IVAO...
