ADSL2+ Broadband

Net Solutions offers broadband services using ADSL2+ technology offering speeds of up to 20Mbps. We have stopped supplying traditional ADSL, and 56k dialup as ADSL2+ is more cost effective.

We have no ‘usage’ based plans so that you will never experience the dreaded “Bill Shock”. We have implemented ‘Shaped’ plans which offer a flat monthly fee while providing generous amounts of data. If you should exceed your monthly data allowance in any given month, the service speed is shaped to 128kbps until the next month. You will not be billed for any excess data usage!

Please note that ADSL2+ offers a 20Mbps theoretical maximum speed as provided by our carrier. In practicality it is not usually possible to receive speeds this high, even under the very best conditions. Below are the major factors that will influence the actual speed of your ADSL2+ service.

• Distance from the local telephone exchange/length of the copper wire from your address to the exchange
• Quality of the copper phone line
• Demand at peak times
• The number and type of other digital services being used by other customers over copper pairs within the same cable sheath
• Electrical interference from outside sources
• Quality of ADSL filter (central filter for best results)
• Quality of your ADSL2 Router/Modem (You must have an ADSL2 compatable Router/Modem) please see ozcableguy.com for comprehensive list

For more information view our ADSL2+ Realistic Speed Expectation guide and visit adsl2exchanges.com.au who offer a great service to help you determine what your line may be able to achieve on ADSL2+.

For the best performance, customers must use an ADSL2+ capable router/modem and have filters installed on all telephone outlets. The graph below indicates what speeds you are likely to receive, depending on how far away you are from your local telephone exchange. Your exact speeds will depend on other factors – please see main page.

Customers that live more than 3500 metres (3.5km) from the exchange may not notice any significant increase in speeds on ADSL2+ over ADSL. However, these customers will experience a more stable and reliable connection if using an ADSL2+ compatible modem/router.

The first step is to determine if your local telephone exchange has been provisioned for ADSL2+. Please enter your phone number below for this test. Please note that this test does not guarantee you can get broadband on the phone number you have entered. This can be confirmed once you have placed an order and our carrier starts the provisioning process of your ADSL2+ service.
