"Superfast broadband" has just been made available in my locaility. I checked the BT Openreach website which says:
Your fibre service is connected from this exchange.
Exchange name: C*******n
Exchange status: Fibre enabled
Cabinet number: 5
Technology: FTTC
i.e. there is 'new' fibre between the exchange and my local cabinet, but 'old' copper from the local cabinet to my house.
I currently get 16.75 Mbps on download and 1.38 Mbps on upload, and I use a Netgear DGND330v2 ADSL2+ modem/router, with network type configured as PPPoA.
What do I need to do, if anything, to actually use "Superfast broadband" and improve my up&download figures?
