ADSL (8Mb) to Naked ADSL 2+ switch

howdy
i signed up with exetel a few months ago.
when i was signing up i wanted to get a Naked ADSL 2+ connection however there were no ports available at my exchange.
i was told i by the sales rep that the exchange would be upgraded in a month or two.
so instead of waiting i churned my old ADSL connection from my previous ISP to an 8Mb connection with exetel.
i've now noticed that there are ADSL 2 ports available at my exchange and i want to make the switch.
i am however unclear on several points on how to get this moving.
1.what kind of down time am i looking at when i switch from ADSL1 to ADSL2?
2.the phone line currently isn't in my name. i know this might be a sticking point. i'm worried (having worked for an ISP) that if i ring telstra to change the name, they'll remove the current ADSL1 codes.
3.what happens to the phoneline after the switch?
cheers.
