ADSL 2+ modem recomendations.

[gibbsy81]

I never thaught the day would come that i had to use adsl with spending my whole life using cable but i guess it will have to do as my family and i are moving to the bush.

Any recomendations that would allow us to get the max posible speed out of the line.

TP-LINK TD-8616

 

I recommend you do all you can to get Google to give you a loon antenna.  :mellow:

The D-Link DSL-2540B served me well.

Ok i will take a look at some reviews and talk to my isp about it.

I have the D-link 2870B and it kinda sucks. Connects fast and has all the options but I have to restart it once every few weeks because it gets slow or just stops working. 

 

I also recommend that you check that any modem you get is VDSL2+ aswell. I heard rumours the coalitions NBN will most likely run with VDSL instead of ADSL.

You are 4069 m from **** as the crow flies.
Estimated cable length of 4679.35 m.

Wow that's amazing looks like adsl 2+ exchange distence doesn't make much of a difference
