You may wish to query whether "upgrade to ADSL2" is "move you over from
resold Telstra infrastructure to their own DSLAMs."

If its the case then you may be able to ask to get your newly-shifted
connection "downgraded" to ADSL1 if their DSLAM supports it.
It'll then be ADSL1 again but on "their" infrastructure, not Telstra's.
