=== VDSL ===
== VDSL Router ==
  *[[http://www.telekom.de/privatkunden/zuhause/geraete-und-zubehoer/wlan-und-router/speedport-w-724v|Telekom "Speedport W 724V"]] - "Der Speedport W 724V ist optimal geeignet für Entertain, Highspeed-Internet und IP-basierte Telefonie. Außerdem unterstützt er WLAN TO GO".
  *The VDSL router [[http://avm.de/produkte/fritzbox/fritzbox-7390/|AVM FRITZ!Box 7390]] supports IP based telephon.
  *The VDSL router [[http://avm.de/produkte/fritzbox/fritzbox-3370/|AVM FRITZ!Box 3370]] doesn't support IP based telephony.
  *According to Telekom staff members in 2015-02, Telekom discontinued the offer of mixed service of VDSL with traditional analog telephone line service in 2015.
  *So if you decide for VDSL, your router must be able to handle IP based telephony since 2015-02, to use the telephone service.
