I'm 1km of copper to green box, then fibre rest of way to telephone exchange. VDSL 40mb down and 6mbs up. That's on a 1980's buried copper cable.

- unwind 4y agoNeat, but is that copper a single pair?
- jcrawfordor 4y agoOne catch is that ISPs rolling out VDSL, such as CenturyLink, are often using pair bonding. So despite a typical performance limit of 40/10, CL offers 80/20 in VDSL markets by taking advantage of the fact that homes are typically wired for two lines.
- anderiv 4y agoDSL uses a single pair, yes.
- midasuni 4y agoYes that’s how the traditional phone system works, single pair from your house back to the exchange (via a jumper block in a cabinet nearby). Modern DSL equipment can get upto 50mbit aggregate speed over 1km of traditional phone wire (so 40/10, or 30/20 or however you would want to set it up) Condition of the wire will effect it of course, aluminium wire, ground conditions, cross talk etc could lower your speed.
- jandrese 4y agoI think the difference with this product is the transceivers are $150 each and you don't need anything else to use them except for a couple of power supplies. I do find it interesting that their box diagram claims a 2km range.
