BT are upgrading to ADSL2+

We had a call on the IT Support desk last week from a client saying that their internet had randomly gone down. After some investigation we found out that BT had done the ADSL2+ upgrade to the exchange that they were attached to.

If your broadband connection is supplied by anyone other than Virgin then there is a very big possibility that you are going to be effected by this upgrade, as all other broadband suppliers use BT's infrasructure to supply the connection.

The problem is that a lot of routers do not support ADSL2+ and therefore you will require a new router. Please check the specification for your router to find out if you'll require a new router or just a settings change.
