Am I on 21CN?

Top spec (non LLU) on A&AISP only provides for 10gig in peak - and I think you can "borrow" against the next month as well but if you use 20 one month you'd have to pay per gig for all peak time useage the next month :S
Peak hours are the opposite to most other SP's though, as they are business oriented so peak hours are office hours 9am-6pm. When I'm in work

I'm still on an upload of 448kbit and my downstream speed remains unchanged since I posted this thread.
So, I contacted Plusnet to ask when I was moving to 21CN.
They've informed me I am currently on 21CN and its active and working on my line.
How can I confirm this? You guys are saying I'm not on it, they claim I am

One of the posts above said that your router might need a software update to handle ADSL2+, have you looked into that?
The reason why some people thought you were still on 20CN is because your upstream is still at 448Kbps, but this is normal because Plusnet cap all of their 21CN users at this upstream to prevent instability. You can ask to have that cap removed but they don't recommend it if you have a long line like yours for stability reasons.
Have you tried removing the ring wire from your phone sockets?

Have you tried using the DMT tool?[TW]Fox;15803225 said:
You need v8.07
I'm using the same router as you and the same DGTeam firmware:
On the DMT Tool it clearly shows what ADSL mode you are running at - in my case ADSL2+ although I don't get any improvement over ADSL as my line is too long
p.s. I could squeeze another 512 Kb out of my line but this means that my line sometimes drops in the evening when the SNR margin drops too low.
I would rather have a stable line
p.p.s to avoid confusion, I'm on O2 LLU not MAX DSL i.e. BT Wholesale

Or ask in their forum over at thinkbroadband, their staff usually browse there and help out.

It's possible that they could have put you on an 8meg product which is very similar to the normal ADSL Max product, as you're on a long line and they might have decided you wouldn't see the benefit of the 24meg ADSL2+ product.
I guess you could ask them what product they have put you on, if they're saying you're on 21CN.
IME with 21CN/ADSL2+ I wouldn't expect any more speed on your line by going over to ADSL2+, certainly nothing significant anyway.
If you could take a little instability, you might be able to persuade your SP to talk to BT and ask for your profile to be hard locked to a 6dB SNR (it looks like yours is currently set to 9dB), which should give you an extra ~750k...
