How do I get internet through a VDSL connection?

VDSL connections typically use a telephone line, so you'll need a modem or router connected to that outlet. When you plug in a new modem or router, just remember that it's not instant; you'll need to follow the setup instructions and enter the credentials given to you by the ISP to get online.

Honestly, contacting your ISP is a reliable step. If they mentioned analog internet only, that might be your limitation. Just remember, once you get the modem from them – either by mail or pick-up – you need to follow their instructions to set everything up properly.

To get your VDSL connection working, you'll need a VDSL modem. This modem converts the VDSL signal into something your Ethernet cable can use. You can either go for a standalone modem, which allows you to dial out directly from your PC, or a modem/router combo that handles both dialing and setting up a home network with Wi-Fi. Depending on your internet service provider (ISP), you might also need to configure some settings like a username and password, so be sure to check that with your provider.

Make sure there's a modem you can access on your end of the VDSL connection. This device is key because it extracts the internet from the VDSL line and provides connectivity for your laptop.
