That's what I would expect. A Gfast ONU in the building with fiber backhaul. You can use legacy Cat3 pair or coax to get from the Telco closet to each suite. That's basically what Gfast is for. --TimH On Tue, 15 Oct 2019 17:51:50 +0000 Rod Beck <rod.beck@unitedcablecompany.com> wrote:
These are large 19th century buildings with courtyards. I have seen lots of activity on this street - fiber being pulled from manhole and gear being installed in cable manholes. Corning on the cables.

Hi,
I discovered that the Budapest cable company was using VDLS to provide services up to 500 megs into the buildings where my flats are located. VDSL is a pretty old standard. I recollect people talking about it back in 1998.
Is it being heavily deployed in Last Mile networks state side?
Sounds more like an in-building Gfast deployment, which is /technically/ a kind of DSL. To get 500Mb on a single pair I think you would need a distance shorter than 1000ft. This is pretty recent tech, and a multi dwelling scenario would be the most common deployment afaik.
