I read recently somewhere that Telecom is firing up a couple of exchanges with ADSL-2.

Does anyone know where these are and also which exchanges will be next ?

Regards

Anyone choosing ADSL2 over the well subscribed Cable network in St Albuns are nuts, but I am guessing thats why Telecom did it.

ADSL2+ is basically not much of an improvement over ADSL beyond 1.5Km's away from the exchange which is most of the population.

The money is better spent on a Fibre Network or a Hybrid Fibre/Cable network like the Current Telstra Clear network, of course this would cost billions more but its better than this ADSL2+ band aid.

Whatever happened to Telstra Clears fibre roll out.

They spent months and $'s putting down fibre optic on some main roads here in Tauranga.

Is this being used by anyone ?

TCL and Vodafone had a spat. They did an Eric Clapton and became unplugged (www.nzherald.co.nz)
