VDSL2?

I was wondering if there was any intention or timeline to upgrade the ADSL2+ equipment currently in play to VDSL2? It sounds like for my distance (3500ft) I'd be looking at my speed roughly doubling and that's something that sounds awesome.

We have VDSL2 equipment in the lab today, and have seen some pretty amazing performance on very short loops - so far maxing out at 160Mbps downstream on a bonded configuration with a near-zero length loop. We will be next doing lab testing with simulated longer loops, then field testing.

Short answer: we are working on testing, but haven't made decisions about time frame, roll-out strategy, etc.

Always awesome to get a straight answer, thank you! Consider me a willing participant for the field trial part which I'm sure is some distance off.
