Sorry to hear that your LINE is sub-standard - but don't blame Smart, blame years of Eircom under-investment...

ADSL2 speeds are whatever the ISP wants them to be, up to 20 Mb - for example, Smart started on 2Mb basic, it was 3 Mb for a while and now it's 4Mb. 5, 6 and 8 Mb are available for extra cost, LINE permitting.

Anyway, very few places that you go on the Net can download stuff to you at 6 Mb anyway (Apple's download site is the only one I can remember right now), so unless you have multiple users on your site, speeds of over about 10 Mb are not going to be any advantage.
