I had hoped that their newer products were better (like the 302 vs the 502 - the difference is night & day) but it sounds like that is not the case :( |

| 735772 | 2009-02-08 21:13:00 | Well I have bought a Linksys Wag160n ADSL2+ and all good. The speed for downloading has improved noticebly. Connected easily with ethernet cable onto Desktop PC. But had some trouble connecting Laptop with Wireless USB pen. Linksys help desk 0800 phone were very helpfull although foriegn voice was clear and polite. Cheers ken |

| 735776 | 2009-02-09 03:18:00 | if you really want to know if it will increase your speed significantly you need to talk to your ISP. In order for ADSL2+ to offer improvements over ADSL for example you need to be closer than 3.5K (In practice much closer <2K I would suggest ) to the exchange or cabinet and the ISP equipment must support ADSL2+ I myself at almost exactly 3.5K from the exchange connect at around 3M and would not get any faster no matter which of the ADSL standards was used. The graph of speed vs distance converges at around this distance for most types of ADSL. |
