Actually, that should read as 8 mega bits per second (8Mbps) in
this case which also happens to be the maximum speed ADSL 1 is
theoretically capable of achieving. (just being picky again!)
In our case, we are on iinet's ADSL 2+ service with an advertised
maximum of 24 Mbps depending on distance from the exchange. We are
lucky to achieve 1.3Mbps on a good day as we are about 4kms from
the exchange. :-(

OK !
Now comes the question ....
What do you get out of your 24Mb service
that you would not have if you were on an ADSL1 1.5Mb service ?
( assuming here that u would get the same practical speed of
1.3Mbps )
Thanks !
