It's time to get fast home broadband with Internode!

What can it do?

The next generation of ADSL broadband, Extreme® ADSL2+ services are capable of download speeds of up to an incredible 24 Megabits per second. All the benefits of ADSL - but better, stronger, and faster than ever.

In addition, our SOHO Extreme® ADSL2+ service supports ADSL2+ Annex M (the first Annex M service to be launched in Australia and one of the first in the world). Annex M can raise your upload speeds to a massive 2 Megabits per second or higher (depending on line conditions).

ADSL2+ runs both faster and further than standard ADSL. Internode's services are so much faster than standard ADSL that we call them 'Extreme®' plans - extremely fast, and extremely good value!

How fast can it be?

On the graph, the blue and green shaded areas show the theoretical maximum speeds you can obtain on Internode Extreme® ADSL2+ services, at various distances from your local exchange using ADSL1 and ADSL2+ equipment.

Factors that may affect performance

While the speeds indicated on this graph show the theoretical maximum speed of the various ADSL protocols on good copper lines - with no bad joints, faulty insulation, or high speed 'interferers' (such as bridge taps or loading coils). Your actual achieved speed may vary substantially from these theoretical results, based on:

• the length of copper wire from your premises to the exchange - this is always higher than the distance 'as the crow flies'.
• the number and type of other digital services being used by other customers over copper pairs within the same cable sheath.
• the configuration and line quality of the copper wire pair between the exchange and your premises.
• electrical interference from outside sources (such as electric motors).
• the configuration of the copper wiring within your premises (ie use a central splitter for optimal performance).
• the software configuration and application on your computer (in particular how it uses the uplink back to the exchange).
• your ADSL hardware.
• the capacity of, load on, and access data rate of the destination host computer which you are accessing.

The most effective way to improve your Extreme® ADSL2+ performance is to have a licensed cabler install a good quality central splitter (available from Internode) in your premises to use with your ADSL2+ router.

So how does ADSL2+ perform in the real world?

You don't live in a laboratory, so it's quite true that the various factors listed above will reduce your performance from the 'ideal' shown in the above graph.

Hence, in December 2006 we took a random sample 7,305 Internode Extreme® ADSL2+ broadband services. Each service was connected to an Internode DSLAM and using the ADSL2+ protocol (G992.5 Annex A ADSL2+ over POTS). We found the following distribution:

• 13.4% achieve a download synch speed of higher than 20 Mbps
• 27.7% achieve a download synch speed of between 15 Mbps and 20 Mbps
• 22.1% achieve a download synch speed of between 10 Mbps and 15 Mbps
• 23.0% achieve a download synch speed of between 5 Mbps and 10 Mbps
• 13.8% achieve a download synch speed of less than 5 Mbps

So over 63% of these customers are achieving 10 Mbps download synch speed or better ...... and that's why we call it Extreme®!
