I'm about 3km from the cabinet, and I have been on VDSL since the first few days it was available. My initial download speed was about 5.2 Mb/s, but as more and more users appeared, gradually dropped to around 3 Mb/s. When vectoring was turned on, it gradually crept back upwards, and was above 6 Mb/s for a brief while. I'm getting 5.4 Mb/s today. We get a lot of DLM activity, sometimes inconveniently in the middle of the day.

...but it does say, on the 'online status' page:

Code:

Line 1 Information (VDSL2 Firmware Version: 576D17_A/B/C with Vectoring support ) Profile State UP Speed Down Speed SNR Upstream SNR Downstream 17A SHOWTIME 1,074 (Kbps) 5,435 (Kbps) 6 (dB) 4 (dB) Vectoring Active

Which is what I had been going on
