G.992.5

ITU G.992.5 (also referred to as ADSL2+, G.dmt.bis+, and G.adslplus[1]) is an International Telecommunication Union standard for asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) broadband Internet access. The standard has a maximum theoretical download speed of 24 Mbit/s. Utilizing G.992.5 Annex M upload speeds of 3.3 Mbit/s can be achieved.

Technical information

ADSL2+ extends the capability of basic ADSL by doubling the number of downstream channels. The data rates can be as high as 24 Mbit/s downstream and up to 1.4 Mbit/s upstream depending on the distance from the DSLAM to the customer's premises.

ADSL2+ is capable of doubling the frequency band of typical ADSL connections from 1.1 MHz to 2.2 MHz. This doubles the downstream data rates of the previous ADSL2 standard (which was up to 12 Mbit/s), and like the previous standards will degrade from its peak bitrate after a certain distance.

Also ADSL2+ allows port bonding. This is where multiple ports are physically provisioned to the end user and the total bandwidth is equal to the sum of all provisioned ports. So if 2 lines capable of 24 Mbit/s were bonded the end result would be a connection capable of 48 Mbit/s download and twice the original upload speed. Not all DSLAM vendors have implemented this functionality. ADSL2+ port bonding is also known as G.998.x or G.Bond.

ITU-T Spec Description
G.998.1 ATM-based multi-pair bonding: A method for bonding of multiple DSL lines to transport an ATM payload beyond the rate/reach capability of a single DSL loop. This protocol allows the bonding of 2 to 32 pairs and supports dynamic removal and restoration of pairs without human intervention.
G.998.2 Ethernet-based multi-pair bonding: Provides a method for bonding of multiple DSL lines for Ethernet transport. This recommendation builds on the IEEE 802.3ah-2004 methods and extends Ethernet transport over other xDSL technologies, including ADSL.
G.998.3 Multi-pair bonding using time-division inverse multiplexing: Details a method for bonding DSL lines using time-division inverse multiplexing (TDIM). This recommendation uses IEEE 802.3ah handshake for pair discovery, parameter negotiation, and setup. It also allows the hitless addition and removal of pairs and the fast removal of a pair upon pair failure.

Deployment

Europe

Austria

In Austria, ADSL2+ is offered by all copper-line service providers, with major ones being Telekom Austria, Tele2 Austria, UPC and Silver Server.. The majority of DSLAMs are capable of supporting ADSL2+ technology while older equipment is limited to ADSL.

Belgium

ADSL2+ has a coverage of 85% nationwide. Initially, ADSL2+ was used to support IPTV (this is still the case if VDSL2 isn't available). Speeds are limited at 12 Mbit/s. Belgacom's reference offer is called BROBA 2. Smaller ISPs use the BROBA 2 network, as well as providers who have their own ADSL2+ equipment.

There are a few other providers who have their own equipment installed in some cities, availability is therefore narrow:

Destiny NV offers an ADSL2+ subscription for professional use, with speeds of up to 24 Mbit/s downstream and 1 Mbit/s upstream.

Dommel offers three ADSL2+ subscriptions, with speeds of up to 24 Mbit/s downstream and 3 Mbit/s upstream (annex M).

EDPnet offers two ADSL2+ subscriptions at 24 Mbit/s downstream and 1 Mbit/s upstream with 100 GB data volume included. They are called ADSL Home (dynamic IP) and ADSL Office (static IP).

Scarlet The package is called Scarlet ADSL20 No limit. The download speed is capped at 20 Mbit/s and upload is as high as 1 Mbit/s, the download volume is based on a FUP. There are several smaller ISPs that use the services of Scarlet. Scarlet's reference offer is called BRUO. Belgacom bought Scarlet, one of the conditions was to sell the BRUO-network to a third party.

Tele2/KPN Belgium offers ADSL2+ subscriptions, the maximum speed is limited at 12 Mbit/s downstream and 1 Mbit/s upstream. There is no download limit.

Bosnia and Herzegovina

ADSL2+ is offered by the following operators: BH Telecom (website) nationwide[2] and Logosoft in Sarajevo, Zenica and Tuzla.
In the Serb Republic entity, m:tel DSLAM network devices show ADSL2+, however m:tel still continues to provide speeds up to 10240/640 according to their website.

Bulgaria

In Bulgaria, ADSL2+ is offered by the national telecom operator Vivacom. Speeds up to 20 Mbit/s downstream and 2 Mbit upstream. Available almost everywhere DSL is offered.

Croatia

In Croatia, ADSL2+ is offered by all service providers, with major ones being H1 Telekom, T-Com, Optima Telekom, Amis Telekom, Iskon Internet and Metronet telekomunikacije. All DSLAMs are capable of supporting ADSL2+ technology. The foremost reason for introduction of ADSL2+ was introduction of IPTV service by T-Com, which required major bandwidth increase.

Almost all service providers offer ADSL2+ subscriptions at speeds up to 20 Mbit/s downstream and up to 768 kbit/s upstream. All service providers provide a flat-rate model with unlimited traffic. Amis Telekom, VIPNet, H1 Telekom, Iskon, Optima Telekom, and Hrvatski Telekom offer IPTV.

DSL Type Provider Down (up to kbit/s) Up (up to kbit/s)
ADSL2+ Amis 20000 768
ADSL2+ Hrvatski Telekom 20000 768
ADSL2+ H1 Telekom 20000 768
ADSL2+ VIPNet 20000 768
ADSL2+ Iskon 8000 490
ADSL2+ Optima Telekom 10000 640

Czech Republic

In the Czech Republic as of 2008, the ADSL/ADSL2+ coverage is above 90% of all fixed phone lines, however maximum attainable rates vary. In many locations, and even in major cities such as Prague or Brno, the maximum speed does not even reach 4 Mbit/s because of the telephone cabling quality. Pricing plans of the biggest ADSL provider, Telefónica O2 Czech Republic, range from €23 per month for 8,192/512 kbit/s to €27 per month for 16,384/768 kbit/s.

There is also a wholesale offer for alternative ADSL providers, nevertheless the end-user price in such case does not differ significantly from that of O2. Less than 5% of all ADSL customers use the offers based on the wholesale offer.[3]

There are about half dozen alternative ISPs that offer data plans utilizing the so-called LLU. In this case the final price is about 25% lower than that of O2. However the LLU is typically available only in large cities. The list of LLU providers includes the following compaines:

You can check whether there are LLU offers available on your phone line. The site also estimates the maximum attainable speed on your line.

Denmark

All major DSL providers in Denmark offers ADSL2+, including TeliaSonera, TDC, Telenor, Fullrate, and Perspektiv Bredbånd. As of 2007, approximately 90% of the country is covered, although maximum bandwidth (24 Mbit/s) is available in and around the cities, that is not classified as villages or smaller. TDC provides triple play.

Estonia

ADSL2+ together with a triple play solution is deployed on a large scale by Elion Enterprises Limited. Download speeds are, depending on package, up to 16 Mbit/s (8 Mbit/s when watching DTV) and upload speeds are up to 1 Mbit/s. A map detailing the availability of ADSL2+ has been made available.[4] ADSL2+ is also offered by Elisa Eesti AS. Speeds range from 5 Mbit/s to 24 Mbit/s.

Finland

ADSL2+ and triple play solutions are offered by the major DSL providers (including Elisa Oyj and TeliaSonera) in certain areas. Usually maximum download speed when using ADSL2+ is 24 Mbit/s and upload speed 1 Mbit/s. Also Nebula, SuomiCom, DNA, KPO, JNT, Finnet and many other ISPs provide ADSL2+ connections.

France

ADSL2+ and triple play solutions are offered by the major DSL providers (including Orange, SFR, Free and Bouygues Telecom) except in some rural areas. Usually maximum download speed when using ADSL2+ is 24 Mbit/s and upload speed 1 Mbit/s. 30% of population is actually limited to 2 Mbit/s due the DSLAM's lower bandwidth (ATM collect – G.HSDSL links aggregating).

Germany

Deutsche Telekom (DTAG) as former monopolist controls the majority of all end user telephone lines. It has rolled out ADSL2+ technology and now deploys VDSL2 outdoor DSLAMs in urban areas. Many of the providers listed below are reselling services provided by DTAG or at least rent the last mile from it. Some exceptions are regional providers who offer to connect houses in their areas for around 8000 euros (e.g. Netcologne, Willytel, Wilhelmtel).

Georgia

Greece

As of December 2014, most DSL providers started offering ADSL2+ from their proprietary network. These are:

Hungary

In Hungary, since mid-2006, multiple telecom companies have started offering ADSL2+ services. As of July 2007, T-Com, the biggest Hungarian ISP, is silently upgrading its customers' ADSL connections to ADSL2+, although with no speed changes.

Iceland

Síminn offers ADSL2+ nationwide. Vodafone Iceland offers ADSL2+ to all its customers

Ireland

Italy

Most minor and major Italian operators, now offer rates up to 20Mbit/s.

This offer is theoretical. To actually get the maximum rate, the customer needs to be attached to an ATM DSLAM, served by an STM-1 (fiber optic) converter, that isn't also serving more than two DSLAMs contemporaneously. This kind of network setup is now available almost anywhere, even in small towns.

Since 2007, Telecom Italia is operating Gigabit Ethernet DSLAMs, offering 7, 10 and 20Mbit/s rates. The, still partial, coverage of the GBE solution, is meant to spread to and cover most cities now served by ATM DSLAMs rated at 7 Mbit/s.

Malta

GO , as of July 2008, started to offer ADSL2+ speeds between 8 Mbit/s and 20 Mbit/s download speeds in direct competition with local cable internet supplier OnVol. A number of lines are still using ITU G.992.1 Annex B but the company will upgrade the line on demand.

Macedonia

T-Home and One are the two ISPs which offer ADSL2+ in Macedonia, with download speeds up to 20 Mbit/s and upload speeds up to 1 Mbit/s.

The Netherlands

As of October 2005, several wholesale DSL providers (bbned, Tiscali, KPN Bitstream) have ADSL2+ coverage on more than 50% of fixed phone lines in the Netherlands. As of September 2007 coverage is optional for 75% of all landlines, with about 1% of all connections having the option for Annex M (newest DSLAMs).

Norway

As of 2006, all major DSL providers in Norway offer ADSL2+, notable are DataGuard, Telenor, NextGenTel, Get, Mimer, Enivest, Eidsiva bredbånd, NEAS and Ventelo.

Poland

Telekomunikacja Polska, Netia and Multimo are offering ADSL2+ Internet connection at speed up to 20 Mbit/s (downstream) / 1 Mbit/s (upstream).

Portugal

Clix was the first operator providing ADSL2+ technology in 2005, later followed by Portugal Telecom brands and Vodafone. These operators offer download speed up to 24 Mbit/s with 1 Mbit/s up. All three operators offer a triple play solution (telephone, Internet, and TV) with TV over IP. In 2009 Portugal Telecom accelerated fiber-optic install on the main cities of the country providing download speeds up to 100 Mbit/s.

Romania

The biggest ADSL provider, Romtelecom (group of Deutsche Telekom) is deploying ADSL2+(G.992.5 Annex A) mainly in medium and larger cities. Their current broadband offer tops at 20 Mbit/s download 1024 kbit/s upload. The new ADSL2+ infrastructure is available since Q2 2008.

Russia

The Moscow ADSL provider MTS offers ADSL2+ for some phone lines in Moscow (not all equipment on the lines is upgraded from older ADSL to ADSL2+ yet) up to 20 Mbit/s downstream 896 kbit/s upstream.
The global ADSL provider Rostelecom (offers its services under the brand Domolink) offers ADSL2+ for some phone lines in Moscow and Moscow region up to 15 Mbit/s downstream.

Serbia

Telekom Srbija offers ADSL2+ up to 20 Mbit/s downstream and 1 Mbit/s upstream. Moved to VDSL2 from February 1, 2013.

Slovakia

Most minor and major Slovak operators, now offer rates up to 20Mbit/s. The base speed is set at 5Mbit/s with upload speed up to 512kbit/s. The price starts at €11.99 for FLAT. Deutsche Telekom AG (owns 51%) (Slovak brand – Telekom) with state (owns 49%) control all end user telephone lines. Telekom in 2012 upgraded capacity of DSLAMs and is preparing for VDSL2 technology. July 31, 2013 was announced by Telekom to offer VDSL from 1 September with speed up to 50/5 Mbit/s. Also it will be offered by alternative ISPs.

Spain

Jazztel, the first operator to provide the ADSL2+ technology. Orange (formerly Wanadoo) Tele2 España (bought by Vodafone in September 2007) Telefónica Ya.com (bought by Orange in 2007)

Turkey

Note: Not all of commercial providers listed.

Ukraine

United Kingdom

In the UK, various companies are deploying ADSL2+, with O2 and Tiscali (Talk Talk Group) having the most extensive coverage as of February 2009.

The majority of ADSL2+ providers use a process of local-loop unbundling (LLU) by connecting a customer's phone line directly into their network, bypassing BT's core network, to provide ADSL2+ lines.[6] The availability is then limited only by the number of exchanges unbundled by each telecom operator: it is not necessary to wait for BT Group.

BT Group, which owns nearly all the POTS infrastructure across the country, began rolling out ADSL2+ based services in Jan 2008[7] as part of its 21CN programme to upgrade its core network. BT and are on track to enable exchanges serving around 90% of UK premises during spring 2013.[8]

Such operators include:

North America

United States

Independent telephone companies and rural carriers of North America probably have the highest total number of ADSL2+ subscribers collectively as they are using such technology to deliver the so-called triple play voice, video and data services in order to compete with the RBOCs and cable companies with their incumbent local exchange carrier and competitive local exchange carrier footprint.

Canada

Mexico

Mexican operator Telmex runs ADSL2+ service with a download speed of up to 24Mbit/s and Upstream 1204 kbit/s; This operator is deploying its FTTH Network which is already available for certain customers.

Central America

Guatemala

Telgua in Guatemala has deployed services across Guatemala City and nearby zones, its deploying ADSL2+ in other cities and now operates the largest ADSL2+ network in the country. Deliver speeds capacity up to 5 Mbit/s downstream and 1024 kbit/s upstream and increasing.

Costa Rica

Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE) gives the services of ADSL2+ to most of the country with speeds from 512/256 kbit/s to 20Mbit/s down and 1Mbit/s up

Dominican Republic

Claro offers speeds ranging from 1Mbit/s down and 256kbit/s up to 10Mbit/s down and 1Mbit/s up. The upgrade to ADSL2+ was required to provide enough bandwidth for the company's IPTV and voice over IP services.

Puerto Rico

Brazil

Chile

Colombia

Venezuela

It is well known that in Venezuela, Internet has slowdown problems on the downstream side, because CANTV's links are saturated, due to high demand and low investments. Raised. On April 8, 2013, CANTV offered 4Mbits service. On June 26, 2013, CANTV offered 6Mbits service. On May 22, 2014, CANTV offered 8Mbits and 10 Mbits service.

Oceania

Australia

As of late 2008, all of Australia's largest ISPs are offering ADSL2+ services delivered on a variety of networks. The following list shows telecommunications providers who own and operate their own ADSL2+ infrastructure:

Australia's first commercial ADSL2+ service was launched in 2005 by ISP Internode on the Agile DSLAM network.[13]

In 2006, Optus announced that it would sell its ADSL2+ network wholesale to other ISPs. At the completion of the rollout, the Optus DSLAM network was the largest wholesale ADSL2+ network in Australia, covering over 360 telephone exchanges.

2006 also saw Internode trial – and subsequently release – ADSL2+ Annex M services for business users.[14] In November, Telstra BigPond, Australia's largest internet service provider launched a retail ADSL2+ service to its customers. Although Telstra had been aggressively rolling-out ADSL2+ DSLAMs for some time, the company made a strategic decision to enable services only where competitors had already deployed DSLAM infrastructure, citing the possibility of a forced wholesale regime by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.

In 2007, OPEL Networks was awarded nearly $1 billion of government funding to assist with a rollout of broadband in regional areas. Along with wireless broadband and an extensive fibre optic transmission network, the project was to see an extended rollout of ADSL2+ DSLAMs to many regional centres.[15] The program was cancelled in April 2008 by the Labor government, citing coverage issues.[16]

In January 2008 Telstra lifted the lid on its ADSL2+ network after the Australian government and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission issued guarantees that the company would not be forced to wholesale ADSL2+ services from its 900 ADSL2+-enabled exchanges.[17] Seven months later, Telstra Wholesale signed agreements with People Telecom and PacNet to make ADSL2+ tails available to those customers.[18]

As of December 2008, out of 2759 ADSL-enabled telephone exchanges, Telstra has enabled 1403 for ADSL2+ services.[19]

New Zealand

Telecom New Zealand deployed its first ADSL2+ exchange in March 2007, and started upgrading exchanges with more than 500 lines. A program of deploying 3,600 roadside cabinets and 2,500 kilometres of new fibre optic cable to enable the delivery of broadband connections between 10 Mbit/s and 20 Mbit/s to 80% of New Zealanders by the end of 2011 was started. At Sept 2009 about 50% of the approximately 1.8M New Zealand homes were within reach of ADSL2+. With the onset of local-loop unbundling, competing Internet service providers such as Compass, Callplus, VodafoneNZ and Orcon have also installed ADSL2+ DSLAMs in Telecom's exchanges. On 13 March 2008, Orcon announced that it was offering ADSL2+ services to the general public.

Following the Structural Separation of the incumbent Telecom New Zealand in November 2011, the wholesale arm Chorus now own and operate Telecom's ADSL network. Chorus provide an ADSL2 broadband availability tool showing where their ADSL2 coverage is available.

Orcon have a coverage map showing where their ADSL2 coverage is available.

Africa

Egypt

TE Data has announced the launch of ADSL2+ service with speeds up to 24 Mbit/s and they have used their wide coverage all over Egypt in order to avail this service in 99% of the land lines, building on its unique relationship with Telecom Egypt and being the largest ISP in Egypt regarding the international bandwidth available, which was clear when it was the only operating ISP during the famous marine cable cut during February 2008. while LINKdotNET had deployed ADSL2+ on a normal copper line at 5 Mbit/s, 8 Mbit/s, 12 Mbit/s, and 24 Mbit/s being the first to offer beyond the 2 Mbit/s and also providing the highest in the country. LINKdotNET claims that it has "the fastest Internet access package in the Middle East". TE Data and LINKdotNET are the only providers who provide ADSL2+ in Egypt because of their use of Alcatel DSLAMs.

Libya

LTT Company has begun providing this service in September 2007, it works fine, but the speed has not been increased yet, it is still 256 kbit/s download, and about 128 kbit/s upload for home users. It also provides xDSL services for business users with speeds from 256 kbit/s to 8 Mbit/s.

In 2007 LTT company started to provide ADSL+2 with 512 kbit/s downstream for home users, also it launched in the beginning of 2009 the Wimax called Libya Max which provides internet wireless.

South Africa

Telkom SA has upgraded many of its exchanges to support ADSL2+ up to a maximum downstream speed of 20Mbit/s and 1Mbit/s upload. As of August 2012 there are close to 200,000 subscribers upgraded onto this service.[20] Availability is determined by the proliferation of higher bandwidth backhaul in order to support the larger amount of data required.

Asia
