areas that are FTTN will have 50Mbps…. But I don’t believe
it. Trials have shown 106Mbps… but that was probably only at
the house next door to the node!</span></p>

According to Alcatel-Lucent stats from international trials (copper
gauge not revealed) (in CommsDay this morning) downstream rates with
vectoring had worst-case-in-bundle downstream rates of ~ 65 Mbps on
500 meters copper.<br>
Looking at the announced areas where this Telstra network will be
built, it doesn't seem like they've cherry-picked areas with short
copper runs - so perhaps we'll see 65+ Mbps as well. (in fact, I'm
sure we will, even if they have to replace a few lower-speed lines
before the trial stats are released!)<br>

You'll probably still need to deal with this - the customer will
still need a router/NAT/WiFi gateway of some sort - if NBN Co supply
the VDSL2 CPE, the user will use a dodgy gateway with an Ethernet
WAN port instead of a ADSL WAN port, just like a HFC connection.<br>
