    You're putting petrol in a diesel mate.

    Thank you for your joke, ED_E, unfortunately this doesn't help.

    I'd guess you know about WAN, so if you want to help me you are more than welcome.

    I found that
    http://www.users.on.net/~fzabkar/DSL-302G/Router_Files/home/hag/help/eoa.ssi
    Ethernet-over-ATM
    PPP vs. EOA: Your ISP may use a protocol other than EOA for communication with your [Productname], such as the point-to-point protocol (PPP). One type of PPP, named PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), actually works "on top" of the EOA protocol. The other type, PPP over ATM (PPPoA), does not. However, if your ISP uses either type of PPP, you do not need to separately create an EOA interface. See the PPP help topic for instructions on creating or configuring a PPP interface.
    Informative quote but not helping

    Edit:
    Eircom In April 2009 Eircom, the Irish incumbent Launched 24 Mbit/s and 12 Mbit/s Annex M Services on 100 of its 1,200 exchanges with another 200 smaller exchanges to follow by year end 2009. In January 2010, eircom launched a 24 Mbit/s ADSL2+ Residential Service using Annex A Profile on the same 100 exchanges. By year end 2012 they finally reached 300 exchanges.
    Annex A in all Ireland?

    Unfortunately it does, you've just completely missed the point.

    You're trying to use VDSL in an ADSL port. The only option you have is to bridge the F2000 to it or buy a new unit that is compatible with the service you've subscribed to.

    Meanwhile, I had lot of reading and understood that should not be compatible.
    But I did a try with the TP-Link TD-W8970.
    Now it's working with the config 
    DSL
Annex: B (All)
Tone: Auto
Encapsulation mode: PTM/EFM
DSL line mode: VDSL

WAN
Protocol: PPPoE
PAP/CHAP username
PAP/CHAP password
Access Concentrator: auto
Service Name: auto
    Not working with Annex M (All)
    As there is "DSL line mode: VDSL" I'd guess there is a compatibility.
    I don't know if this setting will work for long but it's very good. With 3 different sites I have
    Download 27-29Mb/s
    Upload 6-7Mb/s 
    DSL Status

    This is the speeds I was told by Eir in my country house
    Anyway I'll keep eir modem close to hand

    Maybe this could help other with ADSL modem supported by OpenWRT to use it again.

    Thank you for your help
