Hey there, have you checked your address has VDSL2 on the telecom Wholesale maps?

The ISPs we often talk about on here who can offer VDSL2 via Telecom Wholesale:
- Unleash (majority use)
- Snap
- Xtreme Networks
- Worldnet

I also suspect Vibe communications does VDSL2.

Also you should expect at least +$50 per month higher fees for the same amount of data than ADSL2+ for VDSL2.

Why?

They need to cover the extra cost of providing the service, namely:

1: Wholesale cost for VDSL2 is higher than ADSL2.
2: The ISP would needs more domestic and international bandwidth to maintain the same/acceptable performance/contention ratio.

Why? Because that's what it costs. (Telecom wholesale charges + extra backhaul/tails/handover + ISP has to buy more bandwidth).
