Well, the cable company here is offering 500 megs to the entire 5 story building. My guess is that this G fast standard is what is being deployed here and they loosely call it 'VDSL'.

AT&T U-Verse in ex-SBC territories basically was their deployment of <br>
VDSL/VDSL2 back when it was new. Some installs used bonded ADSL2+ where <br>
they didn't have a node close enough to really get any advantage of VDSL.<br>
<br>
These days, it's their catch-all name for anything that isn't classic <br>
ADSL served out of the CO, including their (very limited and apparently <br>
halted) FTTH deployment. VDSL is still very prevalent. I'm not in a <br>
territory served by it, but I know plenty of people nearby who are and, <br>
unless you happen to be on a FTTH path (which means you're either in <br>
select MDUs or happen to be on the path they took to get to one), you're <br>
getting VDSL2 if you call them up and order U-Verse Internet service.<br>
<br>
They deliver up to 100Mbps with pair-bonded VDSL2 assuming you're close <br>
enough to the node.<br>
