From: Rob on 25 Jan 2010 10:05 I have a choice of ADSL1 or ADSL2 connection ADSL1 1500 ADSL2 will only run at 2000 in this area. So each have about the same speed. So the choice - is there any difference between each? What reason should one have over the other for it to be better?

Have you thought about asking your ISP? In the meantime let's do some thinking for you. If download interests you then the technical limits are 1500/8 and 2000/8. The other difference might be cost. From what I have seen ADSL2 can be cheaper. Looking into the future, ADSL2 can likely become the standard, so go with the future. If it's such an issue for you then maybe a stint on dialup will help clear your mind :)

Its a BIG step down even from 256 to 6 even to downloading email text :) About the same cost per month with download quota etc. Telstra are now offering 1500 ADSL1 at a reasonable rate. Why?????? And not pushing ADSL2. Is ADSL more reliable than ADSL2?

Why?????? Because they have the hardware in place. > And not pushing ADSL2. That is just plain wrong. > Is ADSL more reliable than ADSL2? Nope.
