My grandfather needs a VDSL modem.

I'm not entirely sure what to look for here, but the people installing his new internet said he needs a "VDSL modem." I've sent him the SB8200, but he said that won't work.

 

So what modem should I get for $100? He has 100mbit internet, I believe

If the ISP isn't providing one, you may need to contact them and/or check their website for supported modem models. It's entirely possible that there are VDSL modems that they don't actively support. VDSL isn't in widespread use as it has fairly strict range limitations, choices are fairly limited.

Sorry, I just remembered what happened.

 

They gave him a rented unit for like $15 a month. I'll try to look at CenturyLink's site to see.

100Mbit on VDSL? Lucky guy.

 

You'll need a modem that's compatible with VDSL2, here's an example

The SB8200 is a cable modem, needs a coax cable in order to connect to the internet, a DSL modem uses a RJ11 jack that's connected to a landline, like the ones providing a phone service.

Ah, ok, thanks!

 

I probably should have thought about the pair before posting it, it was actually 50mb, anyways I'll go ahead and take a look. Thanks!
