Here in Australia, we have just been introduced to ADSL2, a vastly more excellerated form of ADSL Broadband. I just signed up for this last week, and after a 3 day waiting period, Today I finally got to see what all the fuss was about, and I can tell you I'm really Impressed Normally on ADSL1 the maximum download speed averaged a top out at 163kbps aproximately 1.5Mbps with an upload speed of 256kbps, resulting in an average size file of 25MB to take an estimated 2 minutes to download. With this ADSL2 I downloaded the same file, and WOW! 8) 796Mbps 25MB in 12 seconds with the Maximum speed of ADSL2 being a massive 20000/1000kbps or an equivilant of 8MBps :blink: This is available with Telstra, for those of you who are located in Australia, and I highly recommend the upgrade to ADSL2 heres what Telstra had to say about their Speed Plans:
-{ Quote: "# Speeds shown in downstream/upstream format. 20000kbps plans not available to all customers. All speeds are theoretical network maximum speeds, apart from the 8000 and 20000kbps download speeds which are based on Telstra tests. Actual speeds may be less due to a number of factors including network configuration, line quality & length, exchange type, customer premises interference, traffic and equipment. About 50% of customers on the 20000 kbps plan can access speeds around 10000kbps or more. About 70% of customers on the 8000 kbps service can access speeds around 6000 kbps or more." }-
