We just tested a VDSL equipment. Yup. VDSL can ride over POTS at a max physical distance of 1.2km. While Bandwidth is theoretically 12Mbps, we got around 11.2-11.4 Mbps.
VDSL CPEs terminate at your central side with what they call a VDSL switch. The one I have now is a MixLink 6000 series, a modular VDSL switch in which you can connect multiple VDSL CPEs.
While this may be a costly implementation, a more cost-effective solution exists for single stretch VDSL; There are VDSL "Lan extenders" which are configurable in a master-slave setup.

Yes, Wifi is really cheaper especially when set up this way. You could
even increase the range considerably with a good yagi antenna.
By the way, I just got interested by the idea of VDSL over POTS as a
cheap and feasible alternative to fibre for long distance networking...I
mean, why not? Have you already implemented this? I was wondering if
VDSL routers (and media converters maybe?) are all I need.
