Ok, so I've just ordered the Asus RT-AC68U wireless router from amazon. Obviously this router does not include a built in dsl modem as far as I'm aware. Can you guys recommend me a decent dsl modem to complete the setup? the cabinet is pretty much less than 60 meters away from where our house is so I'm pretty sure I'll be getting some pretty decent line rates.

Thanks in advance!

Putting money into any form of ADSL modem when you are on the verge of getting fiber available doesnt seem that wise.

Most of the ISPs will give you a great deal for a phoneline and internet over fiber since they can cut chorus out of the equation for the phone part by using their router for it.
