I downloaded the firmware images for both the VMG4005-B50A and the VMG4005-B60A. A comparison of the two binary files showed them to be identical.

A quick look at the contents of the binary file showed strong evidence of Broadcom --

Wow, you’re awesome! It’s always nice to have a double confirmation. Much appreciated.

You can bond from your side if you have 2 lines because the RJ11 has 4 pins (not only 2 like most of modems/routers) from left ---> right (pin 1,2,3,4) so pins 2,3 these are line 1 and pins 1,4 are line 2 (so you will need 2 pair line cable and 4 pin RJ11 to do this) and there are line VDSL1, VDSL2 lights on the front. I thought you might be interested in knowing the device capabilities since you are asking about 35b support.

Thanks for thinking with me! I could be wrong, but our ISP should be doing it this way already:

Y-cable,

But that would be just 17a bonding it would max. out speed ~200/100Mbps (DL/UL) not Supervectoring but if 35b profile the speed would max. out ~300/100 there is difference for the download speed.
