Definitely cheaper than StarTech's offering. That's appealing.

However, with StarTech's product, you have a shot at faster speeds if you're going a shorter distance. It can do 75 Mb/s at 300 meters and up to 100 Mb/s at shorter distances.

I would really like to find a similar box that can bond multiple pairs for faster speeds but I haven't found such a device yet.

There are other brands of VDSL extenders. This board seems to be $300 for a pair.

This product, for example, is ~$271 a pair if you buy them at the same time: https://www.netsys-direct.com/products/vdsl2-ethernet-bridge...

And they come with an enclosure and power supply. And a better sort of "step up / step down" bandwidth based on distance...see the chart at the bottom.
