ADSL2+

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADSL2%2B ADSL2+ doubles 
downstream bandwidth (up to 24Mb/s) but seems to leave upstream at about 
1Mb/s.

So we are further pushed from net citizen to net consumer.  Bad for 
society, in my mind.

Apparently one point for Bell's upgrade is to make TV over ADSL2+ more 
practical.  At least that has a slight potential for the good: more 
duopoly replacing monopoly.

The Wikipedia entry says about Bell Sympatico that ADSL2+ will expand to 
most of the DSL service area this year.
