I signed up for Optus ADSL. The sales rep told me that all the ADSL2+ DSLAMs were in use, but they would automatically roll me over to the faster when they changed the old DSLAMs out. At that time, they were charging the same price for ADSL and ADSL2+ (with same gigabytes allowance). Then nearly 2 years later, somebody came knocking on the door, trying to sell me Optus ADSL2+ plans. When I saw the plans, I told them to shove it, as my current plan was better value, and I was only getting dialup speed half the time anyway. Yesterday, I looked at the modem status, and found that download speed has gone up from 512 to 1536 kbps (but uploads still a wheezy 128 kbps). But I didn't get any notification "we good guys, we're uplifting your internet service blah blah". What goes on?
