Use this list for modems and routers available in the free market: http://www.netcheif.com/Articles/VDSL_Router/VDSL_Router.htm
In addition, I would like to second what E.S. Rosenberg said, I think you can still get this one: http://www.bezeq.co.il/media/Products/Wireless_Support/pdf/vdsl_1.pdf They even have a guide in their site how to configure it as bridge: http://www.bezeq.co.il/media/Products/Wireless_Support/pdf/vdsl_bridge.pdf after you get this in place, a good, open wrt supported router is just easy as pie and very powerful.
