Anything above 8 Mbps with most ISP's would be acceptable download speed for ADSL2+.

Hi Rick,
Hope you have been keeping well.
As Dennis mentioned that the technician "inspected the Optus box on the
side of the house", from that I would deduce he would have an Optus cable
service, possibly connected to their hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network in
Brisbane, rather than a digital subscriber line (DSL) connection over the
switched public telephone network.
Dennis could possibly confirm that he has a cable connection and not ADSL2.
If he does have cable, then a comparison to what can be expected with best case
ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ speeds would not be applicable with regards the problem
he experienced.
On the Optus site for the plan in question, I could not spot any quoted data rate,
only that it would be throttled to 250kbps once one exceeded the data quota of 120GB a month.
