And can only adsl2+ users use the new backhaul or can adsl1 users use it to?	lance4k (4644)

Plus not enough overseas (& maybe local) bandwidth for Go Large users but someone said when telecom roll out adsl2+ in march,that is uses a new backhaul. does this mean we will get fast speeds? ADSL2 is a faster speeds ;), the questions is: * How much will it cost? * What sort of bandwidth caps we are going to have? * Are we going to get the FULL ADSL2 speeds or is telcome going to limit it. And can only adsl2+ users use the new backhaul or can adsl1 users use it to? I think ADSL2 users can only use the new backhaul, but I could be wrong.	stu161204 (123)

523249	2007-02-07 03:28:00	I doubt Telecom will rate-limit the ADSL2 speed. Even if they were, they would probably rate-limit it somewhere above the ADSL1 speeds, otherwise it defeats the purpose of installing ADSL2 gears, as people would just stay on ADSL1.	bonkiebonks (7249)
