[Cialug] Get it in writing

Make sure that you're buying the right modem. In some areas, for some
speeds CenturyLink is using VDSL2 and not ADSL2. They are not the same
thing and ADSL2 modems don't usually support VDSL2 (although it seems
that VDSL2 modems generally support ADSL2+). Other than very expensive
modules for Cisco routers, I've never seen anything other than the the
CenturyLink-branded modems that support VDSL2.  Well, except now there
seems to be the Netgear DM200-100NAS but I've never tried it before so
I can't say much about it.
