      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>
      <br>
      Regards,<br>
       - Guy.<br>
