ADSL2+ extends the capability of ADSL by doubling the downstream bits. Data rates can be as high as 24 Mbit/s down and 1 Mbit/s up depending on the distance from the exchange to the customer's home.
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 of up to 12 Mbit/s, but 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.

| Choosing an Internet Service Provider (ISP) |
The first things you need to consider before choosing an ISP are your potential Internet needs. This will determine then determine the type of service that will suit you. To find a suitable ISP you can start talking to those who already have an ISP and learn about their experiences. Some questions you may want to ask are:
