ADSL2 bonds two pairs, so those close to the CO can get 24 MB/s and those farther out, it will help lower the line stats so they can get something better than 1.5 MB/s bandwidth. Also DSL is limited to 6 Mb/s download and 768 Kb/s upload. |

I also think that it's 8Mbps of ATM speed, so your actual IP bandwidth might be a bit lower. Not sure about that last part though -- "the two most abundant things in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity." (Harlan Ellison) |
