AFAIR you are connected thru another piece of technology, which
monitors your line state but you don't get connected to any wonderful
new DSLAM, if that's what you mean...

I tell you now old chap its gonna be good and bad for field staff. Good
in that it will connect at a slower rate in all of those places with
internal wiring problems without us having to remove the double sockets
and bell wires ---- but bad and back to the days when customers used to
moan about the speeds they were getting on their modems, yes, welcome
back to that thanks to maxAdsl. Oh what fun it will be....... 'Why can't
I get 8 meg, there must be a fault on my line' lordy lordy lordy.....

Careful it could be a nice revenue earner, so don't go putting the
idea into any Lev 1's head. It's bad enough as it is having to lie
just to give end users a reasonable service without charging extra for
the ADSL health check (did you know you aren't even supposed to talk
to them anymore as you may impart some advice which constitutes a DSL
Health Check, I kid you not)..

I was just wondering whether a physical connection
(re-jumpering) is needed from the line to the monitoring
equipment, or does the latter just periodically download
stats from the DSLAM?
My exchange is already enabled and the BT checker tells me
what speed I might expect if I migrate. I wondered if this
came from the monitoring equipment, or was just an estimate
based on previous test results.
A search suggests the monitoring equipment is called RAMBO.
Let's see... Rate-Adaptive Monitoring .. um Back Office?
That would suggest some sort of remote computer. OTOH, info
suggests this is only "connected" (or data
collected) for the first 10 days of service.

Well let that be a lesson to me. 
Kraftee was right.
I had been using the option on my DG384G to manually start/stop the ADSL
connection and my SNR was staying at about 6dB.
When I really did reset the unit, physically power off and on the
router, my SNR is back at 16db, in fact it has been hitting +20dB too.
So hoping my ADSL will go up towards 2.5Mb/s when I am enabled in April.
