If you are already getting 12mb Download, You already Have a ADSL2+ Modem

It doesn't look like you will be on any cabinet judging by that map, the polygons show where the cabinets cover.

If you are already getting 12Mbps then you are probably pretty close to the main exchange and your line is coming from there, and must be on ADSL2 (ADSL goes up to 8.1Mbps).

I'd guess on VDSL2 you will get around 28Mbps down / 12Mbps up, depends on the noise etc. on your line, have you already got a central splitter? (need a new one for VDSL2 anyway but if you don't have a splitter yet you might pick up a couple of Mbps on ADSL2 with one).

What are your modem stats? Last time I saw the Wholesale VDSL2 spec it needed under 10.8dB for a line to qualify.

This may explain some what of what you are wanting to know.

Even if you go with your vdsl plan, upgrade your hardware, your ISP ( IF they offer vdsl ) will charge you a heck of a lot for it.

As said. Pinkyorange = Exchange cover. No cabinet.

Only bright pink are cabinet areas, and green VDSL (adsl2+ fallback)

You won't get on a cabinet just cause its close, it doesnt work that way. They are installed close to pre-existing junction points and simply the houses off that junction are changed over. You have no choice on joining a close one etc.

To get VDSL2 - you have to be not more than 1Km to the cabinet to qualify for a start.
Last I heard max speed for VDSL2 is up to 50mbps download.

Yea by looking at the map, you are already on ADSL2+ which can go up to 24mbps download and 3 mbps upload.
I have never seen anybody achieve 24mbps. The highest I have seen is 20mbps. There will be always a limitation regardless. However, you should be getting min of 10mbps on ADSL2+ if you are using ADSL2+ modem.

ADSL can only do about 7.6megs, so you are getting a good ADSL2+ speed already and might get even better (if you are lucky) with a master ADSL splitter. Your area isn't cabinetised because you are close enough to the exchange so don't need it, although probably not close enough for VDSL2. If you could get VDSL2 speeds then you would already be syncing over 20megs with your current modem

Time to find a new industry!

Yeah, so basically:

- You are connected to the exchange because you are closer to it than any of the new cabinets, ie: within ~1-2km of it
- You are on ADSL2+ getting a pretty good line rate of 12Mbit already
- If you got a master filter/splitter installed it may improve your current line rate by reducing the affect of noise and other problems in your internal wiring in your house.
- Telecom's VDSL2 service hasn't been fully launched yet so don't worry about it for now imo (VDSL2 will require a master filter be installed probably).
- For VDSL2 to give you higher line rate than ADSL2+ you need to have a low line attenuation (~10dB) which means you probably need to be <1km from an exchange or cabinet.
