| 665025 | 2008-05-02 09:33:00 | I am just wondering if any one here know when Telecom/Xtra is going to start launching there ADSL2 service??? Or at what point in there Roll-out schedule that ADSL2 is going to go live?? Or at what point in the Roll-out schedule is Telecom / Xtra going to start offering ADSL2 (are they waiting for all the exchanges to be upgrade??(That’s going to be a few years away!, Orcon is going to have a big head start on Telecom if that’s the case) Also to what I have been reading on here and on other forums....., some people have been able to get ADSL2 speeds or they modem are reporting ADSL2 speeds… According to this document www.telecomwholesale.co.nz & www.telecomwholesale.co.nz Its looks like my Exchange has been upgraded to ADSL2 (but it’s hard to say if it has been completed or not as my modem does not say the Line Mode) But I have not seen any/much change, is there anything we need to do?? Once your exchange has been upgraded to ADSL2 will you noticed anything or do you have to wait in till ADSL2 goes “Live” before you notice anything? Sorry for all the questions :blush: |

| 665026 | 2008-05-03 05:20:00 | I have been running in ADSL2+ mode for several months.(10.652Mb/s DS) If you currently have less than 7616kb/s downstream speed reported by your ADSL1 modem, you are unlikely to get any benefit from ADSL2+ as it is intended to speed up the connection of people close to the exchange. [this is why Telecom is moving DSLAMs into cabinets closer to the customers] And of course, you have to have a 2+ modem. Most ones supplied by ISPs for the last year or so, have been. |

| 665027 | 2008-05-03 06:34:00 | Perhaps instead of worrying about ADSL 2 they could sort out their capacity issues so that I can connect to my exchange above 3.5MBit and get speeds above 2MBit at peak times (international data can be even worse...). | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 665028 | 2008-05-04 12:26:00 | I've got an ADSL2+ router and recently the "Line Mode" changed to "ADSL2" although since my lines aren't so good I still only get the same speed. What I want to know is when the upload will be unleashed to full speed. I'm sick of 16K up... |
