''Performance tip for long lines:'' If you have an extremely long phone line (>60 dB downstream attenuation) and you can use ADSL2+, it is worthwhile experimenting with setting the DSL mode/standard option to ‘ADSL 2’ (only) in the above list of options, that is, taking ADSL2+ out of the list of allowed standards, as opposed to allowing the modem to use ADSL2+, to see if this restriction gives a performance improvement. It will be a long process to get a meaningful comparison with take many restarts and many tests to confirm any possible performance difference between allowing and disallowing ADSL2+. If in any doubt enable ADSL2+ ie ADSL1/ADSL2/ADSL2+ ‘auto’ mode where the modem will use ADSL2+ (which can support much higher best-case speeds than ADSL2) if the exchange DSLAM or MSAN supports ADSL2+ too.
