ADSL2+ from BT at Wansford






Yes, ADSL2+ is now running on Wansford exchange from BT Wholesale. Above photo taken from a house in Wansford between church and Doctor's surgery, ISP is BT (BT Total Broadband).

Talk Talk and Sky have been using ADSL2+ for about a year, variously marketed as "up to 20M" or "up to 24M" etc. Anything over 8M is ADSL2 or 2+ and usually comes with a faster upload speed of 800-1000 k which is helpful for sending large files, photos etc.

Also witnessed ADSL2+ in Thornhaugh on longer line below, note the upstream speed of 889k. BT Total Broadband again, but other ISPs use the same kit. In general ADSL2+ gives a boost of 300-500k on the downstream speed on longer lines, you have to have a short line with a speed over 5M to get a bigger increase.

  1. The G992.5 AnnexA confirms it is ADSL2+. Standard ADSL is G992.1
