New Look at ADSL2

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the getting-connected dept.

genrader writes "broadbandreports.com just posted a news article which had an interesting story about the new ADSL2, which should be approved in 2003. They say it should be backward compatible with current hardware. It seems pretty interesting. ISP-Planet has the featured in-depth look at it, so you might want to see if it is of any intrest to you."

  1. Does it really qualify..... by este · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...as a new iteration of the ADSL standard? A 6% gain and negligable service area increase are hardly worth hearlding as a revolution for ADSL. An upgrade, sure, but with such low gains, it may not end up being cost-effective to undergo the upgrade to new hardware, with DSL modems costing up to $200? Most customers probably won't be impressed. I, on the other hand, would give head in an alley for an extra 50kbps. Sign me up.
