As seen in a post from msj in this thread:
»difference between modes

what's the diff between, Multimode, T1.413, G.DMT, and G.Lite? And which one should I use?

Multimode basically says that you are OK with any of T1.413, G.DMT or G.Lite, so the DSLAM can choose whatever it prefers. If you choose one of the others then the DSLAM will refuse the connection if it doesn't support that mode.

T1.413 and G.DMT are very similar, and support up to the full ADSL speeds of 8M/1M. G.Lite tops out around 4M, at least with my experimentation. So, yes G.Lite shouldn't be used if your DSLAM supports the other protocols. I'd stick with Multimode, since the DSLAM should be configured to use the best mode that it is able to use.

got feedback? got feedback?
