Hi all,

An adjunct question to this: if you had a new green field deployment and 
had the option of going Cat5E & Ethernet vs. two-wire & VDSL2, what 
considerations would dictate your choice of one over the other?  Assume 
that everything is within Ethernet distances. Obviously cabling cost 
would be different, but given labour costs of installation, how 
different is it likely to be, and would technical considerations 
override cost?
