[LINK] FTTN in Canberra

[Paul Brooks]

More likely because there is no POTS line cards to terminate the calls and generate dial tone in the VDSL2 node equipment.

Is this because the VDSL2 would interfere with an analogue phone
connection (POTS)?

The fiber optic termination is in the basement of my apartment block. 
There is only about 30m of copper cable from there to the apartments. 
Some pairs are used for data and some for POTS. Presumably this is too 
short for interference.
