  If it's your homework, please read your notes and research yourself and write out what you think. Somebody will correct you if you misunderstood or don't understand certain parts of the notes.
  
  Otherwise, please state why you need to know.

  Not Homework la...
  Heres What i find out from my research...
  ADSL stands for Asymmetrical Digital Suscriber Line
  
  ADSL supports up to 8mbps
  ADSL2 supports up to 12 mbps
  ADSL2+ supports up 24 mbps
  
  But this may vary because it also depends on how far the modem is from the exchange...
  
  Right mayi?

  It's the speeds... generally the faster the broadband speeds offered, the higher possibility of an ISP giving out an ADSL2+ modem because they are capable of supporting higher speeds.
  
  In the past, ADSL aren't exactly compatible with ADSL2+, so this will explain why some ISPs are reluctant to give out ADSL2+ modems. Primary reason is because they have not upgraded their networks, so no point giving/selling ADSL2+.
  
  Now that they are compatible, ISPs are willing to give/sell ADSL2+ modems, though not without problems. Connectivity issues is one. They can actually disconnect on quite a frequent basis, whereas for ADSL modems, it's hardly the case.
  
  It's up to him/her to choose, speeds or stability. But with ISPs upgrading the networks, my view is to go for ADSL2+ modems.
