There's a lot more to ADSL2+ than speeds. One is the ability to link up much faster than before. It's touted that the modem and dslam will link in about 3 to 5 seconds. 2+ modems have a "sleep" mode they'll go into when there's no packet activity. I've got the boards ordered for trial in my lab, but my vendor can't get the chipsets out quick enough.
