So how fast is it

On the graph, the blue and green shaded areas show the theoretical maximum speeds you can obtain on Comstech's ADSL2+ services, at various distances from your local exchange using ADSL1 and ADSL2+ equipment.

Factors that may affect performance

While the speeds indicated on this graph show the theoretical maximum speed of the various ADSL protocols on good copper lines - with no bad joints, faulty insulation, or high speed 'interferers' (such as bridge taps or loading coils). Your actual achieved speed may vary substantially from these theoretical results, based on:

the length of copper wire from your premises to the exchange - this is always higher than the distance 'as the crow flies'.
the number and type of other digital services being used by other customers over copper pairs within the same cable sheath.
the configuration and line quality of the copper wire pair between the exchange and your premises.
electrical interference from outside sources (such as electric motors).
the configuration of the copper wiring within your premises (ie use a central splitter for optimal performance).
the software configuration and application on your computer (in particular how it uses the uplink back to the exchange).
your ADSL hardware.
the capacity of, load on, and access data rate of the destination host computer which you are accessing.

The most effective way to improve your Extreme® ADSL2+ performance is to have a licensed cabler install a good quality central splitter (available from Comstech) in your premises to use with your ADSL2+ router.

So how does ADSL2+ perform in the real world?

You don't live in a laboratory, so it's quite true that the various factors listed above will reduce your performance from the 'ideal' shown in the above graph.

Hence, in December 2006 we took a random sample 3,108 Comstech ADSL2+ broadband services. Each service was connected to an Optus DSLAM and using the ADSL2+ protocol (G992.5 Annex A ADSL2+ over POTS). We found the following distribution:

13.4% achieve a download synch speed of higher than 20 Mbps
27.7% achieve a download synch speed of between 15 Mbps and 20 Mbps
22.1% achieve a download synch speed of between 10 Mbps and 15 Mbps
23.0% achieve a download synch speed of between 5 Mbps and 10 Mbps
13.8% achieve a download synch speed of less than 5 Mbps

So over 63% of these customers are achieving 10 Mbps download synch speed or better ......
