Ive tried again but still not getting any information like you suggest. Also my modem model is not listed on that other site. a similar model has a link to a blank page so I have no idea how to get the stats you asked for.

Have rung Nildram tech and the guy there just said I was on data stream and could migrate to anyone. Couldn't, or wasn't interested in telling me anything else.

Had a look at entanet. The 2Plus Allowance 3 £11.50 package would suit. However, I have an old usb origo asu-8000 modem. Would I need a new modem/router for ADSL2+ to work? (i guess theres not one included for free!)

That package ceases to exist at the end of the month. Users will be transferred to one of the ones on this page.

The BT speed test we want doesn't work on Datastream so that explains that.

Yes you will need a new ADSL2+ compatible router. You could try this site for your router stats.
