Re: DSL Type: G.992.5 annex A Vs DSL Type: G.992.3 annex A

In the first set you are on ADSL2+ (G.992.5) and in the second on ADSL2 (G.992.3).

As your line isn't particularly noise free, as evidenced by your stats, your router decided when you rebooted that ADSL2 would give you a better connection at that time - which it did i.e. you're set to ADSL2+ by O2 but your router preferred ADSL2 so changed mode. Reboot your router and there's every change it will choose ADSL2+ this time.

You've only been connected a couple of days and O2 will still be running DLM. This could also be a factor.

If it doesn't, don't worry about it. With your line length there's no advantage to ADSL2+.
