1290032 2012-07-22 05:28:00 It will be G.992.3 versions. Try ADSL2+ first but it won't work if your exchange hasn't been upgraded. If it doesn't connect after a few minutes , try just plain ADSL pheonix (36)
1290033 2012-07-22 05:53:00 Choose Multimode radium (8645)
1290034 2012-07-22 06:26:00 Yeah Multimode will choose the best possible :-) Chilling_Silence (9)
1290035 2012-07-22 06:27:00 Mutlimode seems to be very slow, only about half (7.4 Mbps) of what I got before (old Thomson Speedtouch). Just set it to ADSL2+ (G.9923) and up it goes -- 14.49 Mbps).

What are the differences between ADSL2+ (G.992.3) and ADSL2+ (annexM) ?

1290036 2012-07-22 08:42:00 Well that's strange... Multimode should choose the best radium (8645)
1290037 2012-07-22 10:22:00 I seem to recall that annex-m has a higher upload speed but not used in NZ anyway. pheonix (36)
1290038 2012-07-22 10:49:00 So, ADSL2+ (G.992.5) is the best available in NZ?

Sorry, there was a typo in my above posts - that it should be ADSL2+ (G.992.5) rather than ADSL2+(G.992.3).

1290039 2012-07-22 10:58:00 Depends what the ISP supports Speedy Gonzales (78)

Multimode basically autoselects for you, but not always to the fastest option!

ADSL2+(G.992.5) is your best choice, as long as your ISP and DSLAM etc support it.


Annex M gives up to 3Mbit upstream (at a cost of some downstream speed) but NZ only supports 1Mbit up.
