    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">I think there are to many unknown's to
      apply much of this type of logic to NBN2. The 100M/bit question
      will be. <br>
      <br>
      Where will they put the "node". The most logical place will be to
      knock over the pillars (big grey knob looking post)  and put the
      big green graffiti target in it's place. The Node will then cover
      what was formally known as the "distribution area" (DA).<br>
      <br>
       If that's the case the direct main cable usually 300+ pairs
      direct to the exchange will be superseded with the fiber &
      node. This higher density cable is where most of the cross talk is
      seen usually. It's induced in these cables but the root cause  is
      usually impedance mismatch further down the loop. With the higher
      density cable out of the picture I think the cross talk will be
      decreased overall but the  root cause will still be there to cause
      havoc.<br>
      <br>
      Warning detail ahead !<br>
      <br>
       Iam assuming BYO CPE and internal customer premisses cable .  So
      the mismatches will still be there even if someone had the
      foresight to go and remove all the bridged tap's in the joining
      posts and pits. Most of these exist in large epoxy filled heads
      that is basically just  3 pairs scotch locked together stuck in
      what looks like the bottom half of a 2l drink bottle and filled
      with Epoxy.  Some even have passive L/C (inductors/coils of wire)
      components in place that were used to balance the loop back toward
      the now non existing mains cable. Records for this stuff is flakey
      to non-existent. It has to be found. Burred in the ground in
      unknown locations encapsulated in epoxy some in asbestos pits.
      Some of these pits have been covered by earth or concrete years
      ago.  There is little financial case to make all this happen. It's
      man power intensive. Time consuming dirty work. It does not fit
      the Pizza delivery business model and wont happen.  You may as
      well put in fiber at that point.  <br>
      <br>
      If i was tasked with this brief. That is to get this thing working
      as quickly and cheaply as possible so it can be sold. This is what
      I would do. <br>
      <br>
      Get a contractor to build a custom node housing. It would be a big
      box that would allow the dslam/vdsl equipment at one end and the
      other end would fit over the existing pillar. Jumpers could then
      be run from the dslam to the pillar  untill all subscribers were
      off the main's cable.  The mains cable could then be ripped out by
      a disposal contractor to sell the copper. <br>
      <br>
      Nothing would be done further down the loop. It would work how it
      works now best effort. Customer would go to dick smith and get
      themselves a vdsl modem with POTS/VOIP port and that would be
      that.  Average speed would be <25M/bit with a the lucky few
      <50M/bit <br>
      <br>
      It would be very quick to finish. Does not touch the ends of the
      CAN where all the problems are and the whole thing could be sold
      to a sucker (aka mum&dad's via share offers and super funds)
      and we can go through this whole thing again in 10 years.<br>

                          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>
