On VDSL2 systems the 7800s can be used as routers only, with a separate modem.

Thanks - Removed from list

yes I own one.

It syncs lower than the hg612, and if interleaving is enabled the FEC overheads appear to get applied twice, so when interleaved it syncs way lower than the hg612.

On the other hand its a device using the same chipset as the ECI modem, that has a GUI and on my line the error count is noticebly lower than the hg612.

As a router tho I think its maybe ok but not great, it doesnt have various advanced features, cannot be used as a bridge and the price point is/was also high for the spec.  Plus I think it looks ugly :)

Yes thats what Ive noticed about the TPLink TD-W9980 which also has a Lantiq VRX-268 chipset. 
It syncs a fair bit below any of the BCM 6368 routers - you can see on the TD-W9980 review it has about 3Mb less on my line when compared to the HG612. Despite me being on an ECI cab.

It appears to be pretty common that the VRX-268 modem/routers (including the HH5) sync lower but are stable.

I would expect that as compensation for the lower sync speed.

My research suggests the FRITZ!Box 7490 International uses a Lantiq (VRX288?) chipset rather than Ikanos (as on the 7390):

That would indeed imply that the 7490 uses the Lantiq.   Never having had a Fritzbox, Im reliant on info coming from others.. so thank you for that.

I've been informed that the ActionTec GT784WN ADSL/VDSL2 modem/router is Broadcom based, and DSLstats works with it. It doesn't seem to be available in the UK though.

Correction: this is apparently not a VDSL2 device.

Thanks Eric, if it does become available I shall certainly add it to the main list :)

 :hmm:  Hmm . . . I don't see any mention of VDSL2, only ADSL2/2+.

However there are approximately two to three listings per week on eBay for Actiontec CenturyLink C1000A Modem/Routers, if anyone is prepared to obtain one for testing -- search link

I think you're right. My informant described it as a VADSL2 modem/router, and I assumed (wrongly it seems) that he meant ADSL + VDSL2. :-[

A little further thought on my part . . .

I seem to recall Asbokid mentioning them to me as potential devices to test -- hence the reason why I have an eBay watch "set-up". Now there must be a reason for the Maestro to consider testing one -- either because they are VDSL2 capable or have a Broadcom chipset.

The C1000A definitely seems to be a VDSL2 modem/router:

So it does :)  I dont seem to be able to find a UK retailer / retailer for new :/

One thing to note if anyone decides to buy a US version or a previously used version, they may find this post useful,
