TonightBt replaced about 30m of underground cable to my house last Thursday 25.
I run a speed test that evening
Before the fault.
Rate 2.3mb
actual 1.8mb
Thursday
Max 7.0mb
rate 2.6mb
actual 2.3
Today Sunday
Max 7.1mb
rate 3.4mb
actual 2.6mb
BT says that it takes about 10 days for the system to settle, but it is looking
good for me to get at least a 70% increase on what I had before the fault.
Apparently, there was a miss connection in the access point, cable colors not
matching, and a probable damage to the cable between.

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...
