| 563167 | 2007-06-26 06:55:00 | Could someone please help me? According to page 17 of the customer brief here www.telecom.co.nz the Dlink DSL-502T modem supports only ADSL1 connections on an Interleaved profile. I have a friend who got a Dlink from XTRA, how can I tell if it is one of those?, and What profile do telecom support? According to the information here www.telecom.co.nz the next area to get ADSL2+ is St Albans, which is where my friend lives. Could this be the reason that ADSL2+ rollout is slow? because XTRA modems do not support it? |

Where do I get the firmware for him from? The modem does not support ADSL2+ so I guess he will have to buy a new one, along with the other thousands of XTRA customers to get ADSL2+ Are the ones they give away now ADSL2+ supported? |

| 563171 | 2007-06-26 07:39:00 | You would have to go to the manufacturers site and search for the modem and the firmware will be there. It looks like the DSL - 502T GEN II (jetstream.xtra.co.nz) supports ADSL2+ According to this site (www.telecom.co.nz) And the DSL-G604T GEN II is ADSL2+ as well. |

| 563172 | 2007-06-26 07:40:00 | uh yeah, those thousands of customers will have to wait until Telecom starts supplying ADSL2+ to people living outside Pakuranga and god knows what they'll charge for it. People cant afford BB now, how are they going to pay for ADSL2+? | beeswax34 (63) | ||

You're reading a lot into 1 page that covers part of the testing done on 2 modems and the "profiles" or setup of the ISAMS. It does say "This is only a portion of the information available on this test." |

| 563174 | 2007-06-26 08:34:00 | Have a look at the Whirlpool forum reviews of Australian ADSL2+ users here (forums.whirlpool.net.au). Buy a new modem - I have never heard of a flashable ADSL2+ modem. It is a function of the chipset I believe and not the firmware. I recommend Billion - cheap but fast and reliable. I bought mine a couple of years ago for $A145. No dropouts, up to 15Mbs down and 9Mbs up (when I lived about 800m from the exchange). |

Or join an ISP that gives away a free modem that does support ADSL2+. |
