I am another person whose line performs better when the mode of the modulation is set to ADSL2 rather than ADSL2+. It really depends upon both the length and quality of the pair.
In my case, as I am unable to obtain a sync speed above 6 Mbps, experiments which involved forcing the connection to ADSL, ADSL2 and finally ADSL2+ mode, whilst monitoring the achievable sync speed, showed that ADSL2 was the best mode for my line.
The next step in the optimisation process was to examine the cyclical change in the SNRM over a number of 24 periods. Analysis of the results showed that I could easily tolerate a target SNRM of 6 dB. I suggested that naheed tried with a 9 dB target SNRM at first, as we have not seen how the margin changes over a 24 hour period.
The final piece of the jigsaw, for me, was to switch from fastpath to interleaved. Hence the 8ISNR6 profile that is applied to my Talk Talk fully LLU'd line.
