What happens when you are on Telkom 2MB Uncapped account, does this also get upgraded to 4MB or just the line?

still on 2mbs
ok.. http://www.telkom.co.za/checkadsl/ showed my line as 2MB the whole week now it shows 4MB, checked my router and it still syncs at 2MB though, rebooted it now a few times and changed to ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ and still syncing as 2MB
EDIT: nvm i just readed through all the post, called telkom just now but they closed at 8PM sadly, will need to wait and call them tomorrow morning for a port reset.

Hello guys,
I have been reading through the thread's pages. But I still have a question, I'm currently on 10Mb package yet I only get a 6Mb speed, as Telkom limits it down to this speed. Will these upgrades push me up to full 10Mb or will I still stay 6Mb? My line stats shows that I can handle 20Mb.
tl;dr: Will I go from 6Mb -> 10Mb with these upgrades?

All you need to do is call Telkom and ask them to sync you higher.
I already did that, but they said my exchange is maxed at 6 Mb. This was around June. Would they have upped the maximum since then?
Possibly, yes. Ask them again?

Question
If Telkom says - Maximum speed 4Megs, - Service speed 10 Megs .... Does this mean I am on a 10Mbps service but am only able to get 4Mbps?

2mb line will hopefully be on 4mbs soon. Is a port reset enough to do the upgrade or should one ask to ensure I am on the right "profile" as with the previous upgrade. Going to phone as soon as telkom support hours are open which is at 8 right?
My stats say my maximum speed in area is 1mb, although I have been on 2mb ever since I moved in. Now after the upgrade process I am on a 4mb service but max speed still shows 1mb. So I don't think the MAXIMUM AREA table is to be trusted. Hope it helps

Thanks .. Yeah, I was "told" by my ex ISP that my line was "unstable" at 4Mb but with the new ISP, I chose a 4Mb plan and no problems with line. My concern is that if I do ask Telkom to bump me up to 10 Mb, and pay the ISP for 10Mb, what will I actually get?
You can tell by looking at your line stats.
Only if you're going to the 10Mb profile will they put you on ADSL2+, or at least there's no reason to put you on 2+ if you're only going to be on 4Mb.
Also, remember that your DSLAM might only support ADSL_g.dmt and not necessarily 2+.
You can get up to about 8Mb on g.DMT
