adsl vs vdsl modem

[buxoriginal]

Hi, so i currently have a 20mbs dsl package from telkom, however I only receive speeds up to 16mbs, I am currently using a regular adsl router, will upgrading to a vdsl router give me better results? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Very unlikely. Your speed is mostly influenced by line quality. Bad copper = slow speed
Look at your line stats on your modem. That might give you an idea of the quality of your line.

Quintrix is correct! but getting 16mbps on adsl and your line speed is configured to 20Mbps id say your speeds are within specification , you wont reach 20mbps exactly

Check you SNR and line attenuation and compare against what is ideal. You may also get better upload speeds with VDSL but not guaranteed.

The line stats will change a bit but when it comes to ADSL2+ vs VDSL2 after 3km they both achieve the same results.

Simply plugging in a VDSL2 modem will not make a difference. You will need to contact your ISP to have them switch you from Multimode to VDSL2 mode.
