        In response to your challenge (Exercise for the reader - work
        out how VDSL2 would be any different)...<br>
        <br>
        In contrast to the current ADSL2+ network, there are 3 big
        differences with the proposed VDSL2 FTTN deployment - <br>
        (i) shorter loop lengths (700-800m) <br>
        (ii) vectoring (crosstalk--)<br>
        (iii) bonding (speed++)<br>
        <br>
        While such a VDSL2 network is not as good as fibre, it's no
        where near as bad as the current ADSL2+ network.<br>
        Right now some poor folks are on 6km loop lengths, there's
        plenty of crosstalk and getting bonding working is a challenge.<br>
      </div>
    </blockquote>
    You can forget about pair bonding in the broader plan - I sincerely
    doubt the budget or street cabinets will be big enough to build two
    ports for every dwelling.<br>
    <br>
    My point was that - without vectoring - the VDSL2 chart would look
    much the same.<br>
    <br>
    Sure the axis labels would change - distances to 5km become
    distances to 800 metres, bandwidth tops out at 120 Mbps instead of
    24 Mbps - but the shape of the chart would look much the same. A
    negligable proportion getting the full 'up to' speed, roughly 30% of
    people getting speeds down to 50% of the "up to" limit, and a large
    hump majority of people down the low end getting about 10 - 15 Mbps
    - probably better than the ~4 Mbps they might get now with ADSL2,
    but not really up to the new benchmark.<br>
    <br>
    That leaves vectoring as the major difference - which will make
    speeds more predictable and push a lot more services to the right to
    higher speeds, reduce the width of the fuzzy cloud in the second
    diagram, but still won't deliver 50 Mbps further than about 750
    metres.<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    Anyway, back to the original topic  - I was looking for ADSL2+ data
    - anyone?<br>
