VDSL
High-speed copper internet
VDSL stands for very high bit-rate digital subscriber line, a technology for transmitting internet data over copper telephone wires at speeds faster than standard DSL.
It enables broadband connections suitable for streaming video and other bandwidth-intensive applications, though speeds decrease with distance from the telephone exchange.
