<p class="MsoNormal">Hey Rod,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are you sure they're using VDSL (I'm assuming you mean VDSL2 which is still in fairly wide use around the world)? 500mbit VDSL2 would have a very short run limitation afaik. It wouldn't be last mile, more like last meter. :)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It's not super-widely used in the US today since Verizon and others have built out increasing FTTH networks and always had to compete with DOCSIS based services which are very widespread here, though I wouldn't be surprised if it was still
frequently the "better than satellite!" service available in some rural areas that aren't too hard to reach with cabling. A decade ago, you would've seen a lot more VDSL2 deployments here in the US, though usually no more than 25 or 50 mbit capacity for the
end-user. <o:p></o:p></p>
