ADSL2+
My exchange is finally getting the 'upgrade' (scheduled for 1800 tonight). What this actually means for our 'long liners' I don't know, but the query is:
What happens to Unbundled services? Will the equipment (TalkTalk and Sky) be able to handle the new service or will it only be BT customers who 'benefit' from the upgrade?

Operators just rent the last-mile copper from BT. What happens with the service is down to them because its their kit at the exchange. That's the whole point, and the whole benefit of LLU, is that you escape BT's ghastly oversubscribed network.
Chances are your LLU operator will support ADSL2+....its probably just a software update or config change on their kit.

Are they likely to do the 'upgrade' at the same time? I have had no info from my ISP (TalkTalk 'reseller')
Re the 'long lines' - I was interested to see that Zen withdrew their warning to users about 2+ on 4km+ a while back.

Thanks - I spoke to my ISP (who resell TT) and they tell me TT LLU is ADSL2+ capable without mods, and that they reckon I should see some improvement (c 4km).
