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

So who is right?

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.

Next to his name

oooh my mistake I thought it did

I am going to hide now and be embarrassed

I retract my last statement about NTL Employees

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.

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

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

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