VDSL

Very-high-rate DSL (VDSL or VHDSL)is a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) which uses copper wire technology providing faster data transmission - up to 52 Mbit/s downstream and 16 Mbit/s upstream - than ADSL.

These faster speeds mean that VDSL is capable of supporting high bandwidth applications such as HDTV, as well as telephone services (VoIP, voice over IP) and general Internet access, over a single connection but VDSL does not have the dedicated VoIP channel that ADSL2+ ethernet (fibre-optic carrier) does have. VDSL is deployed over existing wiring which may have been or is still used for POTS (plain old telephone system) and lower-speed ADSL (Broadband) connections.

Second-generation systems like VDSL2 will provide data rates exceeding 100 Mbit/s simultaneously in both the upstream and downstream directions. The maximum available bit rate is only achieved if the enduser is less than 300 meters from the nearest VDSL2 capable street cabinet and performance degrades as the loop attenuation (resistance) increases due to length of copper line or poor quality of that line.
