[QUOTE="Crazy_Eddy, post: 2128204, member: 167"] VDSL2. Airtel is using VDSL2 17a profile with vectoring. Probably, and Airtel have some funny rules about not touching any wiring inside the building. With ADSL, lower speed plans would cause the modem to sync at those lower speeds and improve stability. With VDSL, the modem will negotiate whatever max speed it can, and any speed cap Airtel applies is simply bandwidth throttling. But they've been rolling out frequent firmware updates for the VDSL modems, and the latest ones look like they're negotiating lower speeds with higher SNR. There's always fiber upto some point in the network. With ADSL it was just up to the exchange. With VDSL they need to extend the fiber further to your street. But yes in most cases they're just upgrading the modem. Airtel was caught off-guard when all the Fiber players jumped in. Theoretically FTTC allows a faster roll-out since you don't have to individually wire up each house. However they still seem to be moving slower than the competition, and they're wasting endless time tweaking the VDSL network, which they might as well have used for FTTH. They're giving Tenda VDSL modems now? Tenda uses Broadcom chipsets in some of their networking gear. Which model is it? [/QUOTE]
