What are your thoughts / expereiences on it?
What is required for it to support ADSL2?

If ti's not a modem/router then to get ADSL2+ you need something like RTA1320 which Slingshot bundles with their plans.

jabz: These routers are great little ADSL boxes.

I don't understand your concern about ADSL2 though, considering how rate limited and ripped we are with the current ADSL, I can't see ADSL2 setting New Zealand on fire anytime soon. There still has to be backhaul capacity to take all that extra bandwidth somewhere and it doesn't seem to exist at the moment!

AFAIK Telecom use 7300's so should be a safe bet.
