At present there are around 500 exchanges enabled for Ocean Internet ADSL2+, however the numbers are increasing fast, which now covers a significant amount of the UK's main commercial and business centres.
When new orders are placed if ADSK2+ is available we will automatically connect you up to this service, and any connection we have a standard ADSL will be automatically upgraded to ADSL2+ when it becomes feasible. As a guide, customers currently on ADSL Max (up to 8Mb Broadband) will see the following improvements in speed:
ADSL Max:
current downstream speed |
ADSL2+:
expected downstream speed |
8MB |
16-24MB |
6MB |
8-9MB |
4MB |
5MB |
3MB |
3.5MB |
2MB |
2.25MB |
ADSL2+ is a rate adaptive service that 'stabilizes' at the best possible speed that your BT line will support. This will depend on a number of factors including distance from the local BT exchange and quality of the copper wire |
