What eventual speed can I expect from moving to ADSL2+
I was getting a rock solid 6.5 mb on an up to 8mb service and am now in my first 10 day training period with my move to ADSL2+. The speeds have been all over the place - one day at 6mb and later the same day at 15 mb. Usually though just under 10 mb. Anyone any idea where I may end up as I was hoping to get 15 mb not 10 mb?
