About ADSL2

What is ADSL2+?

ADSL2+ is a faster DSL service technology. The ADSL2+ is much faster than normal ADSL1 service. The ADSL1 broadband download speeds are between 256kbps and the maximum theoretical speed of 8Mbps. ADSL2+ download speed between 1.5Mbps and the maximum theoretical speed of 24Mbps. ADSL2+ will allow you to enjoy large file downloads, VoIP phone service, online gaming as well as Streaming TV and radios.

To obtain maximum ADSL2+ speeds customers must use an ADSL2+ supported MODEM and have filters installed. The actual speeds will depend on, distance from the local telephone exchange, internet traffic and the quality of the customer’s telephone copper line .

ADSL2 AAPT Rejection Reasons

What are the common rejection reasons for ADSL2 applications via AAPT?

The most common rejection reasons for ADSL2 applications via AAPT are listed below.

Complex services (SSS incompatibility)


ADSL application via AAPT is rejected for complex services (SSS incompatibility) because of the following reasons:

  • An active ADSL service or ADSL CODES are present on the line at the time of submission. This must be CANCELED or else our suppliers will reject the order.
  • There are telephony complex services on the line. (e.g.: line hunt, secondary numbers, fax stream duet, rotary function…etc)
  • Your telephone line rental provider is using their own equipment instead of Telstra equipment. You must either move to Telstra equipment or you may have to port over to Telstra equipment.


Exchange not available


Order has been rejected because Powertel /AAPT equipments are not residing at that exchange to provide the service. So that, we are unable to provide an ETA.


No ports reserved on exchange

The order can be rejected if there are no ports available in the exchange and because of this reason we are unable to provide any ETA.


Transfer not available from the service provider

The current ADSL1 provider is not a SSS participant (ADSL2 use special transfer technology called SSS to transfer ADSL service from one provider to another). Both suppliers need to support the same technology.

In this case you may need to cancel the current service and place a new order via the Exetel web site once it is completely canceled.


Inactive or None – Telstra service

The reason for the rejection could be that the number isn't activated or it’s not connected to a Telstra network.

Best solution for this is to contact the line rental provider and make sure that the line is active and it is updated properly. Furthermore need to confirm that the line is connected to the Telstra network.



Service number/ Address mismatch

The order can bee rejected due to incorrect telephone number or address provided in the customer application.

The best solution for this is contact the customer line rental provider and update the correct address in their system. Then resubmit the application with correct contact information.


Transfer/Churn of ADSL2 services to Exetel with AAPT

What is Rapid Transfer/Churn of ADSL2 services through AAPT?

This is the process of transferring a service when you are moving from one ADSL2 provider to another ADSL2 provider while using the same supplier. With the ADSL2 AAPT/Powertel services the current provider needs to be an SSS participant in order to transfer over to Exetel.


How do I know if my current ADSL service provider is an SSS participant?

You could find the list of SSS participant providers in the order form.


Should I disconnect my current ADSL2 service if my current ADSL provider is not listed as an SSS participant in the order form?

Yes, you are required to first terminate the current service and apply if your current provider is not an SSS participant.


What is the activation period for a rapid transfer/churn to an ADSL connection via AAPT ?
