Hi @Divyamereddy, we are happy to bring some light on your questions.

 

Broadband Internet providers offer different connection options to subscribers, with ADSL, VDSL and UFB or fiber being popular options in many parts of the world.

 

VDSL (Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line) is another popular type of DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) Internet connection. As its name suggests, it allows a higher transfer rate than ADSL.

 

 

If you have any additional concerns, please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you for contacting us on AT&T Community Forums!

To finish off the abbreviations you asked about, IPCO (or IP-CO) is basically old school DSL: IP to the CO or Central Office (vs IP-RT, or IP to Remote Terminal).
