Is there a difference between VDSL and VDSL2?
How fast is VDSL in comparison to VDSL2? VDSL can support downstream and upstream rates of 100 Mbps. VDSL2 on the other hand, can reach theoretic downstream and upstream data rates of up to 200 Mbps at its source. VDSL2 also supports a wider frequency range of 30 MHz in comparison to VDSL’s 12 Mhz frequency range.
What does VDSL2 stand for?
Very high bit rate digital subscriber line
VDSL. VDSL (Very high bit rate digital subscriber line) is a newer technology. Like ADSL, VDSL uses your copper phone line, but delivers a faster connection speed.
Is FTTC the same as VDSL?
Fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) This is combined with a copper cable from the cabinet to the home or business which uses VDSL or similar technology that can deliver much faster speeds over shorter distances.

|---|---|---|
| Line type | Fibre optic | Asymmetric |
| Speed | Up to 80Mbps | Up to 24Mbps |
| Price | Very affordable | Very affordable |
Is FTTC slower than FTTP?
Here’s the thing; although FTTC is slower than FTTP, it’s still fibre, and it’s still properly fast. BT – BT offer a range of fibre-to-the-cabinet packages, with top-speeds reaching 67Mb. It also offers ultrafast broadband in a very small number of area.
