xtra and adsl2+

[The Pastor]

Do xtra have adsl2+?

Whats the fastest plan you can get on xtra, i tried there website, but they don't say shit on there! some wank about "speed will vary" which i understand, but whats the expected average?

I want to upgrade, unfortunately im stuck with xtra gay balls.

I'd use about 10gb month.

With adsl2+ dose that take over the line its on? i.e., can't use the phone on it etc.

can't get any info off xtra's website.

don't bother with the "go elseswhere" i don't give a shit, if i could choose i'd be out of xtra in a flash, but i cant.

Whether you have ADSL2+ or not depends on which exchange you're at. Nothing changes between it an ADSL except that it's faster. I wish they'd gone for ADSL2 rather than 2+ though I'd prefer 3.5Mb/s upload.

it dosnt matter what you get its all the same every provider gets the same , because its telecom phone line they use
so just use what you have cause it wont change
telecom milk it no matter what .

the only option you get is a bussiness plan but that costs
the adsl2 is what you will get and it has to be installed to the phone exchange by telecom , when its in the other providers have access to it as well .
if your near a major city and near an exchange , think you ll find you r already on it .
says a lot about telecom .
if you want to know why the speed is slow , because you used to get 50 connections to 1 port
now its like 300 to 1 port
i do know this for a fact

I'd stab a kitten if required to have an upload that fast

For what it's worth as far as ADSL is concerned the best comes from Telstra. If your a gamer you will want to request to have interleaving off which lowers the ping substantially & any usage over your 10GB plan incurs a $11.95 fee for another 10GB block.

That's obviously if you are unable to get cable or ADSL2+ etc

just out of interest my connection runs at 3.8 3.9 on avg and its still shit
ps : dont use a telecom speed test page .
it will be fast cause it comes from them
dont believe me , go ask a pc minded person
