[adsl] ADSL2+ performance is achievable today

[Simon Cobb]

What, you don't trust me ;-)?  Assuming I can attach screenshots, snap 1 shows my raw speed (currently slightly lower than my previous post, but still a respectable 16.1mbps) and snap 2 is a typical "real world" bandwidth test result which came in at 11.4mbps.
 
I've no idea if snaps are allowed to be posted to this group, butt if they don't come through, then please believe me, the above figures are real.
 
Simon

Screenshots as proof might make this more believable.
