The cool part about VDSL is that you don't have the 'A' in the front, so
you get synchronous bandwidth.  This makes uploading go _alot_ faster.

Does anyone else have VDSL?  Does your modem seem to crash every four
weeks or so?  All it requires is a unplug/plug back in, but it sure is
annoying.  I no one else is having that issue, I'll have to call Qwest
and ask for a new one.

BTW - For those who are interested in things being open, VDSL is a
proprietary protocol developed by basically one vendor.  They are
thinking about getting it standardized, but we'll see.

		Have fun,
