I read it today. Telekom invested shit tons of money in vectoring technology, it's called G.Fast and was developed by Alcatel-Lucent - a small company in Stuttgart.
they were able to reach up to 1,1 Gb/S thru a common german household phone-connection to a distance of 70 m. It was 800 Mb/s to a distance of 100 m. So the average speed should be above 500 Mb/s if the start selling it.
VDSL2 uses 17 MHz and G.Fast 212 MHz.
They'll start to build those pimped conenctions at the end of 2014 and want to provide about 24 billion german households with G.Fast by 2016.
lol, this made me chuckle. Alcatel-Lucent are a pretty massive French company .
