    Thanks. So, I should be able to get 8MB (max. available under Eircom's NGB and Vodafone's Enhanced Broadband then)?

    Is a big deal for them to switch me from ADSL1 to ADSL2?

    If you go for 8 megs you line will sync at its highest ADSL1 rate, which may expose you to disconnects and noise.

    Switching to ADSL2 may not be an option in your exchange, you'll need to confirm that first.

    It's currently connecting at 6MB on DSL channel G.DMT. But there was a period when it synced at 9MB on an ADSL2+ channel, the SNR downstream dropped to 6db but it was stable. So I believe it is possible. It's currently something I'm looking into.

    If it is available in my exchange is there any reason why the provider wouldn't provide it?
