Does this mean I can get ADSL2+ 20mb

This is a snapshot of my router settings. Does this mean that I should be able to get 20mb connection?

Sorry man. That is a print screen and pasted and saved. Not sure how to increase the quality. What I dont understand is the downstream SNR is 205 and attenuation is 204. I thought that the higher the attenuation the worse it is?

Attainable rate is 25940 down and 1092 up
 
surely its more than just looking at the attainable rate? My attainable rate is ±12mbit, but my exchange is limited to 4?
 
Isn't attainable rate on those things related to the signal strength you're getting from your exchange, based on attenuation, SNL etc? Although that wouldn't explain the uplink, unless its capable of reading that from the exchange.

You are correct. The exchange also needs to support 20mb. That stats are pretty much your line quality to the exchange.

Cool. Is there anyway (besides phoning telkom) to find out if my exchange supports 20mb

Nope, the line stats have something to do with it but it requires a certain type of dslam and metro backhaul.

My stats looked very similar, in fact SNR was worse, but have succesfully upgraded to 20Mbs ADSL2+ about 2 weeks ago, running like a dream.

BTW Telkom still shows my exchange as 4Mbs.

I'm on the margin for 20Mbs, about 1.3Km from the exchange with an 8 - 9 Noise margin. It is expected, but in context of about 4GB downloaded, nothing to hassle about.
 
I've learned not to trust D-Link SNR/Attenuation statistics at all. 200+SNR...LMAO. 200dB attenuation translates to nearly 15KM of copper to the port, not possible to get 20Mb on that length of wire.

Yep, Surprisingly, when I was still @ 10Mbs, my noise margin ranged between 12 & 16, granted I made an extension line to the router and still want to ensure better joints (was meant to happen this last week-end, but....) anyway when they switched me over, it dropped down to about 7 to 8 which surprised me, unless that's the way adsl2+ works.

I always prefer plugging the router into the jack which comes from outside not a fan of extensions unless it is for a phone only :)

Some routers report in units of 0.1, others not. Just divide your number by 10.

Fair enough, but it requires both the line quality to support it and the exchange infrastructure.
Interestingly I see my office lines are showing as 20mb adsl supported now on the telkom tool.

I would love to do that, just impractical at the moment in my situation, though am thinking of laying a network cable down instead of the extension.
