Eircom announces its vectoring program again.

And seemingly the future can’t come quickly enough….

With the deployment of vectoring we’re making those speeds available to homes and businesses within our existing national fibre footprint now, and the 1.4 million homes and businesses we intend to reach by 2016. Once completed, the broadband speeds available over our National Next Generation Fibre Access Network are now faster than most Fixed Line Operators across Europe.

…...so long as it's not FTTH.

We continue to work closely with our Global vendors, such as Huawei, to explore further hugely exciting technological developments in this area such as G.Fast, which offers the potential of future step changes in both upload and download broadband speeds by driving fibre further out into our network.

Vectoring is all fine and dandy and is great as long as you have a VDSL cabinet near you...what about all the exchanges with no cabinets or people outside the areas where cabinets are deployed?

The country will have to be blanketed with VDSL cabinets:)

Vectoring is only of advantage to dense multi-pair copper. It's basically a way to reduce crosstallk
None at all to few r pairs
Over 1km VDSL is nearly pointless. This is why most VDSL kit can "fall back" to ADSL2.

VDSL is an urban stop gap that only really competes with UPC. So adds little or nothing to most outside UPC areas.
