I live in Dannemora Auckland and I know the ADSL2+ is coming in to town within 2 months a new cabinets and cables have been laid.

I have a CISCO WAG320N. How do I konw (from the modem or other means) I get ADSL2+ connectivity?

I know some of hte modems will show the statistics on the modem status.

go to: http://192.168.1.1

You will probably get a prompt for a username and password.
If you haven't set any custom router lo-gin details...
Try:
Username: admin
Password: admin

Navigate to Status --> DSL Connection and look for an area that says line mode

As dont panic has noted, you will find it where he states, its not a matter of it not being there, its simply is.

if the status page only show 7.6KBps

does that mean it is ADSL only?

Here is the only thing I think it is relevant -

Status: Up
Downstream Rate: 7616 Kbps
Upstream Rate: 416 Kbps

Hi, attenuation and noise margin would also help

Now I suspect I got misleaded by Telecom sales person who knocked on my door two weeks ago, told us that my street box has been upgraded.

I am pretty sure G992.1 is not ADSL2+, am I correct? (it was like 992.5 right?)

7616k downstream is the max for ADSL1. You will get that at 20 metres from the connect point, and you will get that at 700 metres. It will then decrease. For ADSL2 the max is about 20mbit, but that will decrease as distance increases, so at about 2km you may get 7mbit, so you cannot go by the connect rate. Look at the line mode, g992.5 is ADSL2+ gdmt is ADSL1
