Another point re FTTN technology using VDSL2 is to keep copper runs as short as possible as VDSL is not as forgiving as ADSL.
From the node to the pit at the front of my house the distance is around 200-250m. When first fired up I was connecting to the node at around 86Mbps, however from the pit into the house via a termination box there was at lest another 40-50m copper run and was this was also split into 3x parallel runs to other parts of the house. I disconnected the unused copper pairs at the termination box so to only have one direct pair to modem and the connected sync rate from the node to modem increased to 104Mbps.
