Try using xdslcmd instead of adslctl

Yes, you were word perfect with your Telnet.

Funny that it presents a Busybox shell but does not respond to adslctl or adsl. My DG834GT responds to either and they don't appear under help.

Just a forlorn idea but would you like to try it again but 1st issue the command after logging in:
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
or even try my encapsulated link http://192.168.0.1/setup.cgi?PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bi... which gets my stats from my Netgear w/out using Telnet, but 1st edit it for your router's IP.

Yes, your exchange does have TT LLU ADSL2+ but you are too far to benefit from it.

Good idea!

No, I'm afraid none of those ideas worked!

xdslcmd wasn't found.

Tried setting the PATH but same result.

Tried the URL (after making sure the IP address was correct) but just got a "Problem Loading Page - The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" page from the browser (Firefox).

While in telnet I tried cd'ing to all those directories mentioned and doing an ls and there were no commands of those names listed. Tried "ls -l *dsl*" on each of those directories and only these two files were listed in each case:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 5852 Jun 24 2011 adslmod
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 544516 Jun 21 2011 dsl_cpe_control

Well, you tried everything we can think of. Looks like this Netgear won't display its current ADSL Mode. Pity!

Mind you dsl_Customer-premises-equipment_control looks interesting .

I presume you can not get fibre yet.
If it was me is would get the one plan from three 18p/m 1 month contract.
I would try this as your landline speed are so bad.
I don't know what three service is like where you are but I would be surprised if it was worse then your landline.
with the one plan you can tether unlimited.!

No, I can get fibre, but I don't need it. However I can't speak for the OP who you are not addressing.
