VDSL CPE Mixed Results

I'm going to guess you're a CLEC from your website and a common problem
I've seen in that scenario is that vectoring doesn't work between DSLAMs
because it needs all pairs to be part of the vector group so that the DSLAM
can mitigate FEXT.  DSLAM vendors have been working on system level, rather
than DSLAM/binder level, vectoring for a while but cross vendor support is
questionable at best.

Read the section on system level vectoring especially:
http://www.adtran.com/web/fileDownload/doc/32362

If you are sharing binders with the ILEC and potentially other CLECs then
you really need to talk to you ILEC rep and find out what they're doing for
system level vectoring to see if there is an option for your DSLAMs to be
included.  That benefits everyone and will _greatly_ increase performance.
VDSL2 speeds will otherwise be unreachable unless the ILEC gives each CLEC
their own binder, not very practical.
