[AusNOG] ADSL to ADSL2+ upgrade on Telstra ports

[Joseph Goldman]

Not all the time.

I believe at some exchanges there are still ADSL1 DSLAMs vs ADSL2 DSLAMs.

I'm sure that since ADSL2+ DSLAMS started rolling out, that any new or 
replacement DSLAMs would be ADSL2+ compatible, but I doubt they have 
replaced every DLSAM in the country.

It is a common occurrence in certain areas to barely get a chance to 
order ADSL2. Nothing you can really do about it in the short term, we 
generally do the initial connection on ADSL1 (OPEN1), and submit a speed 
change to OPEN2 after it is active, which usually gets put on hold 
rather than rejected, and essentially puts you in a queue for the next 
available ports.

Thanks,
Joe
