I wonder if TT can update in exchange by them self? I ask because BT has not updated the exchange

Of course they can! They just wheel their own kit in and get it connected up. BT has to allow them access. LLU suppliers are entirely independent of BT.

Now if I go on the TT website and try to order broadband it gives me option for simply broadband - is that the adsl2+ service?

I answered that above.

In reply to a post by Kamil:

I am in fact connected in adsl2+ now. my attenuation has gone up tho.. from 52dB to 55,5dB. I suppose this is normal?

Entirely typical. How has it affected your speeds & NMs? I would expect it to be slower.

Stats taken just now. Seeing more errors I believe? Also slightly slower but its getting dark anyway..

Ty a reconnection during daylight and see, but there is a fair chance ADSL2 will be slightly faster. That's possibly because of the ~3dB attenuation rise that most people get with it (as you have done) cancelling out the benefit of the additional frequencies. Those additional errors may also be caused by the increased frequency range.

If ADSL2+ stays below what ADSL2 gives, plump for the ADSL2.
