| Ireland (VDSL2) | - Current service: OpenEir, the wholesale arm of Ireland's largest telecommunications provider currently provides vectored VDSL2 services offering speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s (down) and 20 Mbit/s (up). The majority of lines are connected to FTTC cabinets. However, due to the topology of the copper network, a small share of lines are also served directly from VDSL2 equipment located in local telephone exchange.
- Description of service: The network supports multicasting for IPTV services and customers can be provided either with a standalone VDSL2 connection, or VDSL2 bundled with a POTS service. Most ISP's residential gateway devices contain a VoIP ATA which can be used to provide classic telephony services without using the legacy PSTN infrastructure.
- Physical interface: Each ISP provides its own modem/access gateway, to a standardised network interface specification. New VDSL2 installations require a site visit to install a NTU (Network Termination Unit) - a modular telephone socket with an optional integrated filter which is connected directly to the incoming line, ahead of any other internal wiring. This ensures optimal service by eliminating possible line noise or problematic internal wiring. It also provide a testable, demarcation point between the customer's internal wiring and the OpenEir network - and has an RJ11 test socket behind the face plate. For this reason, unlike ADSL services, self-installation is not available, unless a VDSL2 service was already in place. The filter plate installed on the NTU provides three connection terminals: an unfiltered socket for the VDSL2 modem (RJ45 socket that accepts an RJ11 plug), a filtered RJ11 socket for analogue telephone service and a filtered screw-down wiring terminal, located on the back of the faceplate, where extension sockets can be connected. The socket device also provides a range of wiring options for connecting monitored alarms and other specialist services.
- VDSL2 providers: As OpenEir is a wholesale provider, ISP services are sold by a wide range of operators including (non-exhaustively): Airwire, BBnet, Digiweb, Eir (retail arm), Fastcom, Host Ireland (Business broadband), IFA Telecom, Invertec, Lightnet, Magnet Networks, Net1, Pure Telecom, Regional Broadband, Ripplecom, Sky Ireland, Telcom, Three Ireland, Viatel, Vodafone Ireland, Westnet and Wireless Connect.

| United Kingdom (VDSL) | British Telecom and resellers:- Openreach, the Access Network delivery arm of BT Group conducted successful trials of VDSL using FTTC technology in the Muswell Hill area of North London. Following this trial national rollout commenced under the banner of NGA (Next Generation Access) starting with selected exchange areas around the UK. The product initially offered downstream bit rates of up to 40 Mbit/s and upstream of up to 10 Mbit/s dependent on the distance between the new DSLAM street-cabinet and the end user's premises, and by late 2012, this had increased to downstream bit rates of up to nearly 80 Mbit/s and upstream of up to 20 Mbit/s.[92] Alongside this, Openreach are conducting additional trials into the deployment of FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) which although more expensive and complex to implement, can provide downstream rates of up to 110 Mbit/s and is thought to be more future-proofed than FTTC. Recently this has been improved to 330 Mbit/s downstream and 30 Mbit/s upstream. Original projections indicated that FTTC was significantly cheaper to implement than FTTP; however, current thinking is that the cost difference between the two technologies may be smaller than first envisaged.
- As of 2011, the Openreach product is also resold by other ISPs.
Other providers:
- A number of smaller regional ISPs also exist and sell VDSL based services.
- For example, Rutland telecom currently offer VDSL technology in some parts of the UK, mainly focused around the county of Rutland. Rutland telecom was the first ISP to offer VDSL services in the UK.[93] Also ask4 Ltd, Ripwire & DRBSY LTD[94] announced the availability of up to 40 Mbit/s VDSL services for business users and consumers across South Yorkshire which utilises the infrastructure being rolled out by the four main councils in the area; Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley (collectively known as Digital Region Ltd),[95] an EU government-backed project. The network offers up to 40 Mbit/s downstream and up to 10 Mbit/s upstream with an assured level of service. The infrastructure consists of FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) with sub loop unbundling to provide the last-mile connection to the consumer via existing copper.

| United Kingdom (VDSL2) | - BT Group tested VDSL2 in the Muswell Hill, London and Whitchurch, Cardiff Exchanges starting in July 2009. On 23 March 2009, they announced plans to deploy the service to 29 exchanges throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.[96] On 9 July 2009, they announced plans to deploy the service to a further 69 exchanges throughout the UK by the summer of 2010.[97]
May 2010 BT announced £2.5 billion plans to roll out a mixture of VDSL2 FTTC (75%) and GPON FTTP (25%) to 66% of the UK by 2015 with VDSL2 speeds starting at 40 Mbit/s down 10 Mbit/s up potentially rising to 60 Mbit/s down 15 Mbit/s up.[98] In October 2011, BT announced that this roll-out was being accelerated such that it would be completed by 2014 (one year earlier than originally planned).[99] In April 2012 BT introduced new product download speeds of up to 80 Mbit/s down and 20 Mbit/s up on its VDSL2 network. This has been achieved by increasing ANFP spectrum usage to 17 MHz. BT announce FTTP On Demand — a GPON-based service to extend the fibre overlay in FTTC areas direct to the home to subscribers willing to pay (install costs not yet announced expected to be in high hundreds of pounds).
- On 8 October 2009, it was revealed that Virgin Media would test VDSL2. Residents of Higher Pill, in Saltash, and nearby Hatt were to be offered free broadband via a VDSL2 line to a roadside cabinet. The cabinets were to be linked to Virgin Media backhaul via new fibre laid by Vtesse Networks through BT's local exchange, 5 km away.[100]
The trial eventually resulted in Vtesse Networks running the final service without Virgin Media's involvement under their own brand on 1 October 2010.
- Digital Region Ltd, an EU government-backed project formed by the four main councils in South Yorkshire – Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley, along with the Regional Development Agency, Yorkshire Forward, have rolled out VDSL2 services to over 80% of the county. The network was shut down in August 2014 having never passed 5,000 subscribers. The street furniture was disconnected from the power circuits (it piggybacked off streetlighting) in September through November.
- LittleBigOne also joined the network in 2011, offering 40 Mbit/s VDSL services, including the first UK IPTV over VDSL service, which launched in early 2012. They were also to offer an "up to 100 Mbit" service starting in May 2012.
- On 14 April 2010, Rutland Telecom announced that it is to deliver broadband speeds up to 40 Mbit/s using a fibre to the cabinet solution in the Welsh village of Erbistock. The initiative, backed by private investment, would be the first time that VDSL2 technology has been used in a Welsh rural village.[101]
VDSL2 uses Profile 17a, Annex A, VLAN 101 and is capped at 80 Mbit/s download and 20 Mbit/s upload.
