As Tom asks, how will you be interfacing with it ?

I'm using VDSL2 in the UK, and it's as simple as setting up a PPP client to do 
PPPoE with the ISP and treating the PPP interface as a separate interface in 
Shorewall. If, like some of the modems I've used with ADSL, you can talk to the 
modem over the same NIC - then define that as another interface (ie eth1 is the 
NIC you talk to the modem over, ppp0 is the PPPoE session that runs over it).

I like to set the instance number in the PPP config so that it's static and not 
ppp0. With only one PPP connection it's a bit redundant, but if you have more 
than one (I used to admin a router with 3 VDSL2 connections) then it means you 
don't need to worry about what order the sessions get established.
