What Is VDSL?
Very high-speed digital subscriber line (VDSL) and very high-speed digital subscriber line 2 (VDSL2)are digital subscriber line (DSL) technologies providing data transmission faster than the earlier standards of asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) G.992.1, G.992.3 (ADSL2) and G.992.5 (ADSL2+).
VDSL offers speeds of up to 52 Mbit/s downstream and 16 Mbit/s upstream, over a single twisted pair of copper wires using the frequency band from 25 kHz to 12 MHz. These rates mean that VDSL is capable of supporting applications such as high-definition television, as well as telephone services (voice over IP) and general Internet access, over a single connection. VDSL is deployed over existing wiring used for analog telephone service and lower-speed DSL connections.
How VDSL Works?
However, another DSL technology known as very high bit-rate DSL (VDSL) is seen by many as the next step in providing a complete home-communications/entertainment package. There are already some companies, such as U.S. West (part of Qwest now), that offer VDSL service in selected areas. VDSL provides an incredible amount of bandwidth, with speeds up to about 52 megabits per second (Mbps). Compare that with a maximum speed of 8 to 10 Mbps for ADSL or cable modem and it’s clear that the move from current broadband technology to VDSL could be as significant as the migration from a 56K modem to broadband. As VDSL becomes more common, you can expect that integrated packages will be cheaper than the total amount for current separate services.
What Is VDSL Used For?
VDSL – the high-speed DSL connection
VDSL stands for Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line, and as its name implies, it is the fastest form of a DSL connection. VDSL transfers data and connects you to the Internet through your telephone lines in a more effective way.
Is VDSL Same As Fibre?
VDSL (Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line) is the best known yet, but basically only partially fiber-optic based. In this variant, fiber optic cables are laid from the switchboard to the cable distribution system (DSLAM).
Is VDSL Better Than Fiber?
Fiber is way faster, more reliable, and sometimes actually more affordable than DSL. It’s harder to come by and may deliver more bandwidth firepower than some users need, but it’s the best out there. DSL runs at much slower speeds than fiber, but it’s still fast enough for a lot of what you’ll want to do online.
How Do I Know If I Have VDSL?
Perform an online ‘speed test’. There are many programs/websites that can do that. VDSL is faster than ADSL but you may not have a way to make a comparison. Open ‘Properties’ for your Ethernet/Wi-Fi connection and it should display what you’re connected to, as well as, your ‘link speed’.
How Is VDSL Connected?
VDSL uses our fibre network to get broadband to a cabinet near your home and then the copper network from the cabinet to your house. VDSL supports activities like streaming high definition TV, video calling, or uploading photos, with less buffering than basic broadband.
