VDSL (Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line)

VDSL, or Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line, is a technology that delivers fast internet over traditional telephone lines. It uses higher frequencies than regular DSL, allowing it to transmit large amounts of data quickly—suitable for streaming, gaming, and downloads—while still sharing the line with phone calls. VDSL provides significantly faster speeds than older DSL, often reaching hundreds of Mbps over short distances. However, its performance decreases with longer distances from the provider’s equipment. It’s a reliable, efficient way to get high-speed internet using existing copper phone lines, bridging the gap between traditional DSL and fiber-optic connections.
