I have seen or heard claims that Telstra has equipped most exchanges with ADSL2 capability and could switcht this on today, giving speeds up to ? 20 times faster than the current ADSL speeds, but that it refuses to switch them on because it would have to allow its competitors to use the facilities. I have heard that because Telstra refuses to switch on the ADSL2 system that it has set up, Internode and other ISPs have set up their own ADSL2 networks. Is this a correct summary of the situation?
