Nah. You've got it wrong. On the same cabling, my operator switched from
DSL to VDSL (they just changed a board in their DSLAM, but nothing else)
and the max VDSL speed is 5MB/SEc (actually 52 Mb/s). As specified here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDSL

And yes that qualifies as broadband as it's significantly over 25 Mb/s...

But true... you need to be close enough to the DSLAM...
