You can get adtran 1248b's that run ADSL 2+ for less than 2k still. Then get Cisco 887s as end points. That's what I run. 8 meg at 3 miles or so. I am not sure if they make a VDSL or not, but would check them out. Steve Sent from my iPhone

They aren't particularly cost effective for most scenarios, but cheaper than hanging even a mini-DSLAM to service 1-2 customers that are too far away from a cabinet. Installing them is a pain and keeping them running long term is an even bigger pain. Certain models don't work well with specific DSLAMs and/or in specific plant combinations so testing with your DSLAMs, modems, and in your plant is a must.

A search on Google yields many products dating back to the days of ADSL-1 advertising 1mbps profiles, but a few seem more recent and support ADSL2+ (not sure if any support VDSL2). Are these thing out of date and no longer deployed ? Were they ever effective, or just vapourware that didn't really improve things ? Do any Telcos still deploy them ? Anyone know of deployments in Canada ? I just need a reality check on those devices. jf
