ADSL2+ ?????????

anusha wots the news with adsl slt... heard ur workin at slt a trainin.... so any thin happenin regardin adsl2+???

No ADSL2+ for a long time. Even the telephones as close as 30m from the switch (or DSLAM) can only have a bandwidth of 11Mbps with the current telephone lines.

It's because the resources are shared among all the ADSL users. No one is given a guaranteed 512k or 2M speed. That's simply the max speed. Using P2P downloading methods, you can fully exploit the connection speed.

Broswing is generally not as fast as you would expect from a 8 times faster connection than dialup. However, if you use torrents or when you download from fast http/ftp servers, you can easily get 400k+ with a 512k connection.

machan 400k+ how much is the dwnstrm????

400k is the download speed (i.e. 50kBps)

If the speeds are low in torrent, that's because you have a low number of seeders, or higher number of leechers, or the seeders are uploading slow or any combination of them.

If the speeds are slow when downloading some files from a http server, then it could be because the server is slow. You can almost get 50kBps if you use Rapidshare ne (even with the limited (free) account) That's because their servers are fast.

I really don't know why the browsing speed is low. It could be that the servers are slow. The browser overhead also adversely affect this.

I'd be happy to see ADSL speeds reaching 8Mbps before ADSL2+
You know, even on ADSL2+. you hardly get 8Mbps, unless you live next to the exchange. So, 8Mbps ADSL will do more than enough for us.
