	Note that TransACT ~~are~~ ~~currently~~ ~~(as of 2013/2014) completing~~ their upgrade of areas serviced by VDSL1 to VDSL2.		Note that TransACT have now completed their upgrade of areas originally serviced by VDSL1 to VDSL2.
			However it is important to note that (as of early 2015) upgrading of premises to the new standard is not automatic and must be requested. A consideration of whether to upgrade is the likely loss of back-to-base alarm capabilities.

	Changes include much higher data rate capabilities and the discontinued use of one of the two pairs of wires run into your premises. Phone services will then become piggy-backed onto the same pair as used by the data only wiring, in much the same way as ADSL uses the same household wiring for phone & data services.		Changes with VDSL2 include much higher data rate capabilities and the discontinued use of one of the two pairs of wires run into your premises.
