10 © Nokia 2017 Vplus has become mainstream – rollouts ongoing

Cost and time efficient upgrades with FttC investments largely completed in 2016

Note: Upgrading to 35b does not significantly increase the US speed compared to vectored VDSL2 17a For distances larger than 600m, the performance of 35b is similar to vectored 17a
