A friend just pointed out something which I was going to ask anyway.<br>
<br>
There are lots of people attached to congested RIM's which have fibre backhaul to the exchange, even though the exchange is good for ADSL2+ they can't get that speed or throughput because:<br>
a) the RIM itself is congested, cards are full, etc<br>
b) even if the RIM was handling things nicely, the backhaul is congested<br>
<br>
Unless the RIM's and their rollout were poorly planned, wouldn't it be a fairly simple task of either:<br>
a) replacing the optics on either end?, or<br>
b) lighting up another wavelength?<br>

Realistically in my opinion given the investment into NBN that I wouldn't see a great large volume investment into ADSL2+ connectivity. I know Telstra is still running the TOPHAT program to keep people going until NBN but I wouldn't expect to see a mass outlay unless it was absolutely necessary.<br>
