Nope... read whirlpool.net.au more often. ADSL2+ results are mixed with
different modems - lots of different factors involved. Some modems need to
forced into different DSL modes to negotiate at a reasonable speed.

When I read about these a few months back, Belkin was one definitely to
avoid, due to heat issues.

I purchased a Billion BiPAC 7402VGO thingy, which works like a dream at 1.5
Mbps (no 2+ yet, *sniff*), and comes with everything in one box (including
3-port Ether, WPA2 wireless, 2 VoIP lines, firewall & IDS, IPSec/L2TP/PPTP
VPNs, dodgy QoS). However, the PSTN switchover on the VoIP is
unstable/unusable to the point that PSTN voltage drift will block all
incoming VoIP and PSTN calls, since the relay gets confused. No response to
my support email either :(

Cheers,

Nigel
