[AusNOG] DSLAM Advice

[Skeeve Stevens]

Hey all,

                I figure that these are the best possible two lists for information for this region relating to DSLAM's and I am sure people have already have some experience in this area.

                We're doing a lot of in building 'Multi-Dwelling' installations, most are based on Ethernet, but some buildings it is not cost effective to deploy UTP and the copper is already in place, so DSLAM's become the best option.

                VDSL/VDSL2 are the only options worth considering due to the speed ability over ADSL technologies.  We've been looking at the Zyxel 5005 IP DSLAM with VDSL2 cards.

                I'd like to know if anyone else has some good/bad things to say about

*         Zyxel DSLAM's,

*         other vendor options which are price competitive

*         Know whether the Zyxel DSLAM's support multi-PVC services so we can deliver different services which are contended/rate-limited differently

*         CPE options worth considering (wired and wireless options)

*         I understand VDSL2 is 100mb/45mb speeds... at what distance do these speeds go down, and any other considerations which may affect it?

If anyone has any other ideas (apart from Powerline Communications - just not interested).
