As Neil suggests, I would tread carefully with mass deployment of your own VDSL2 modems based on the potential rollout of vectoring. If Openreach goes through the expense and time of deploying vectoring and your modem doesn’t support vectoring or isn’t vectoring aware, you are likely to very quickly find the modems no longer allowed to sync or at least sync at a significantly reduced rate. A single vectoring alien in a binder can virtually write off any benefit delivered by vectoring, so ensure at the very least the modem is vectoring aware as well as abiding to the UK ANFP, especially in the case of the 887VA where the modem is integrated and not hardware upgradeable.
