Vectoring will drive broadband expansion in Germany. This will enable millions of households to have super-fast internet connections with acceptable means. Existing copper networks can be equipped with VDSL2 vectoring technology. VDSL2 connections will deliver data transmission speeds of up to 100 Mbps for end users, meeting the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth for high-definition streaming, multimedia applications, web downloads, and cloud computing via DSL connections. Competitors in the telecommunications sector will also benefit from this new technology.

Vectoring is an extension of VDSL2 designed to reduce unwanted crosstalk (or far-end crosstalk, or FEXT) that occurs with copper cables between neighboring subscriber lines. This technique can significantly increase transmission speed per subscriber connection. In theory, with the profiles currently in use, download speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s and upload speeds of up to 50 Mbit/s can be achieved. The VDSL2 vectoring procedure is standardized by the ITU-T under the designation G.vector or G.993.5.
