[AusNOG] VDSL2, was Re: 4G advances

[Guy Ellis]

I don't think we see a lot of VDSL2 in Australia because of the $ 
investment required.
Also for line lengths > 2km ADSL2+ is almost as good.

Bonding ADSL2+ is a lower cost alternative as there is no need for new 
DLSAMs.
There are a few doing this here already and elsewhere ....
