[AusNOG] VDSL equivalent to TP-Link TD-8817 for use in bridge mode

[Greg]

+1 for Vigor 130, Using 2x of them at work(bridge mode). Using v3.8.0m4 
firmware..
Got 1 unit doing 103/49Mbit sync to the node on one unit(within 
100meters to the node).

The other is on ADSL2+ awaiting churn to VDSL2 and is in bridge mode no 
issues too..

Cheers

Greg Mc
