Re: VDSL CPE Mixed Results
So with this 3 line connection, what speeds up and down are you getting? You say 10X10 which I find odd for a 3 line bonded VDSL2 connection. Most always your downstream will be much higher than your upstream on a 868 unit.

Re: VDSL CPE Mixed Results
Also, what do your stats look like? 6kft is getting beyond the sweet spot for VDSL2, particularly if you're trying to push 10Mbps on the upstream.

Re: VDSL CPE Mixed Results
I was going to ask if you've tested the cable pair at all. If the pair is bad, or even a little out of balance, bad scotch loks, etc. VDSL isn't going to work properly. We have customers that are definitely in-range for VDSL but who cannot get it because there is a 26 gauge insert between two cross-connect cabinets in the field On Thu, Jan 15, 2015 at 8:15 AM, Scott Helms wrote: > I'm going to guess you're a CLEC from your website and a common problem > I've seen in that scenario is that vectoring doesn't work between DSLAMs > because it needs all pairs to be part of the vector group so that the DSLAM > can mitigate FEXT.

Re: VDSL CPE Mixed Results
I'm going to guess you're a CLEC from your website and a common problem I've seen in that scenario is that vectoring doesn't work between DSLAMs because it needs all pairs to be part of the vector group so that the DSLAM can mitigate FEXT. DSLAM vendors have been working on system level, rather than DSLAM/binder level, vectoring for a while but cross vendor support is questionable at best. Read the section on system level vectoring especially: http://www.adtran.com/web/fileDownload/doc/32362 If you are sharing binders with the ILEC and potentially other CLECs then you really need to talk to you ILEC rep and find out what they're doing for system level vectoring to see if there is an option for your DSLAMs to be included. That benefits everyone and will _greatly_ increase performance. VDSL2 speeds will otherwise be unreachable unless the ILEC gives each CLEC their own binder, not very practical.

RE: VDSL CPE Mixed Results
We've used a few Zhone ETHX-344x4 (http://www.zhone.com/products/ETHX-3400/) and been happy with the reliability. Configuration was a bugger, but if you get one of those I can share my template.
