I used Zyxel DSL based products for 8 years (2000-2008), I've deployed everything from their 2 box SHDSL point to point solution, to their 48 port xDSL DSLAM's. All in all I found the gear to be good and stable. I have had firmware issues, but they have been solved quickly. In the early days our office was next to theirs in Reading UK so we used to get a few beta boxes to test too.<br>
<br>
The biggest install I've done in APAC was at Cardrona Ski Field for the tyre testing guys, 24 port VDSL/SHDSL pizza box, running a mix of 2-wire VDSL and 4-wire bonded SHDSL. Was running there for 5 years without a hitch. When it changed hands they spent the extra money and replaced the lot with fibre.<br>
<br>
The key to using their gear, IMO is being able to get a decent support contact at Zyxel. Not sure how easy that would be here and I've lost touch with the UK guys.<br>

What we found if we ran two ports at the same time each one drops to<br>
around 15Mbps!<br>
Never did try 4.<br>

Is this the ADSL or VDSL ones? Just confirming?<br>
<br>
If it is the VDSL ones... what CPE's was it tested with.<br>
<br>
If it was the ADSL ones... that TP isn't too bad is it?<br>

1) Throughput was the problem we had with the ADSL2+ Zyxel - it was maxing out at around 15Mbps / port.<br>
<br>
This is from a pizza box Zyxel DSLAM<br>
<br>
Just be aware that lead time is about 6 weeks between ordering and delivery.<br>

Hi Skeeve,<br>
<br>
1) Throughput was the problem we had with the ADSL2+ Zyxel - it was maxing out at around 15Mbps / port.<br>
<br>
2) AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND—MELBOURNE<br>

+61 3 9658 0599 [12] fax<br>
<a href="mailto:sales.australia@adtran.com" target="_blank">sales.australia@adtran.com</a><br>
3) We are ETSI and don't forget it - our cars run on petrol not gasoline!<br>
<br>
4) The Host model includes a management node and will run stand alone.<br>
Client model needs an upstream Host for management.<br>
Depending on your topology you may need both types.<br>
I'm sure their friendly sales guy will help you ;-)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

I'd like to know more about why you think the ZyXEL's weren't good.<br>
<br>
Also, the Adtran's also look interesting. Any contact to get some pricing/info?<br>
<br>
Might be a stupid question.. but in AU and NZ are we ANSI or ETSI?<br>
<br>
Also not sure what they mean by Host and Client models.<br>

Based on our ADSL2+ experience I wouldn't go near Zyxel with a barge pole.<br>
<br>
Instead take a look at the Adtran 1248V - they are not expensive and are carrier class.<br>
They even have a local engineer in Melbourne!<br>

If so, opinions welcome... Costs would be interesting to know.<br>
