What has confused me is that some new routers are listed as ADSL2
and ADSL2+. Mine is only referred to as ADSL so I am not sure what
the 2 and 2+ is all about, and if I need it for the type of ADSL
service that Zen offer via BT at 8Mb.

I could just try the upgrade and see what happens. However, if it
will not give me any benefit, then I may just leave it alone.
