[Chris Ricks]

VDSL2 is often a decent alternative for additionally cabling MDUs or
high density buildings (motels come to mind). In fact, a few vendors
sell VDSL2 DSLAM/MSAN equipment specifically targeted at motels and
office buildings.

>From memory, there was talk of using VDSL2 in this capacity for the NBN
for some dwellings.
