He claims adslmax is ADSL2+.
I told him its standard ADSL and well he dont believe me.

So who is right?

Re: Who is right here?
 

You are.

ADSL Max is basically when LLU is enabled on the line meaning that it "unlocks" the 2 Mb/s cap meaning you just get as much as your signal allows.

ADSL2+ doubles the number of downstream bits cf standard ADSL meaning the connection speed can be doubled regardless of where you are.

With ADSL Max, if you can only get 1 Mb because of the line, you will only get 1 Mb, on ADSL2+ you will get 2.

Re: Who is right here?
 

Next to his name

oooh my mistake I thought it did

I am going to hide now and be embarrassed :D

I retract my last statement about NTL Employees

Re: Who is right here?
 

LLU = Local Loop Unbundling means BT releases the copper from exchange to customer so other ISP's can put their own DSLAMs in the exchange.

A line still with BTWholesale and wholesaled to other ISPs is not Unbundled and with ADSL Max (G.992.1) will sync upto 8Mbps.

He is right cause he's a bloke ;-)

Re: Who is right here?
 

jsut a quest, is sky ADSL Max or ADSL2+? checks say i w ill get 3MB on MAX so would taht mean ill get maimum 6 on adsl2+

Re: Who is right here?
 

Sky is ADSL2+ on the exchanges its enabled on otherwise they use BT IPStream and that is max

Re: Who is right here?
 

thanks for the info, i signed up for hte mid package and should be connected on wednesday, so i suppose that is ADSL2+ as sky is enabled in my exchange, hope i get good speeds.

Thanks

Re: Who is right here?

Connection Speed 3776 kbps 416 kbps Line Attenuation 55.0 db 31.5 db Noise Margin 11.9 db 14.0 db
Is this a good speed with these stats

Re: Who is right here?
 

That is a very long line at 55db roughly about 4km+. Thats is a good sync speed for the length and I am willing to bet its a ADSL2+ connection

Re: Who is right here?
 

i looked at my router config fie and its ADSL1 the mode says GDMT or something like that, really confused

Re: Who is right here?
 

Tell me exactly what it said?

What exchange you on?

Have you asked Sky?

i was told by people on www.skyusers.com that if mode was on G.DMT it was ADSL1
