Besides, 18mbps doesn't 'seem' all the fast when there's already 50mbps service out there or being cooked up.
I'd only be interested if their finally going to increase upstream speeds as well. |

I'd only be interested if their finally going to increase upstream speeds as well. Besides probably the 18mbps tier will come in the ADSL2+ flavor and NOT using VDSL2. Some advantages of adsl2+ are:
1. REACH. ADSL2+ is good for up to +5,000 ft or more where VDSL2 is only good for 1,200 ft.
2. LATENCY! This will make all the un-employed gamers happy.
3. Maybe get rid of that awkward 2wire crap and use a real adsl2+ modem like a zyxel or netopia.
After all, looks like VDSL2 was not really a good idea... |

I still prefer Netgear HDX101 - 100Mbps ethernet over powerline.
Using VNC ~25' (1 exterior wall), on Netgear 108G router, I'll max at a rated 48Mbps, but throughput is less. VNC stats show ~5-10Mbps
Using HDX101, which has to go to the circuit breaker and back on a different circuit, (100' each way), I show 75Mbps, and VNC viewer's line estimate never shows less than 20Mbps.
