Swiss Internet Options (including Enhanced Security)

PhoneWorld provides several options to connect to the internet

VDSL (VoIP Data/Voice)

VDSL is available for residences and business if distance from the next Central is less than 1.200 m.  Locations over this limit need to use ADSL 2+ technology (ie a “naked”), or via fiber optic cable.

VDSL stands for Very high bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line. VDSL operates over the copper wires in your phone line in much the same way that ADSL does, but there are a couple of distinctions. VDSL can achieve incredible speeds, as high as 500 Mbps downstream and 100 Mbps upstream (to home or office)
