[RP-PPPoE] RP-PPPoE VDSL & VDSL2 Support?

Gday,

I've used the Roaring Penguin PPPoE client for years now, both with  
ADSL1 and then later with ADSL2 and it has hummed along smoothly. Now  
the Australian Government in their wisdom is forcing everyone to join  
the Not Bloody Needed network or NBN for short. They are doing this by  
disconnecting every one's PSTN and ADSL services two years after the  
NBN has finished rolling out in their area. Approximately 90% of  
Australian connections will be FTTN(Fibre To The Node) with some type  
of VDSL technology.

Does RP-PPPoE have VDSL/VDSL2 support? More specifically does RP-PPPoE  
support G.993.2? From my ISPs supplied modem I can see on the DSL  
Modulation Parameters page under VDSL2 (G.993.2) it lists the following:
* Profile8a
* Profile8b
* Profile8c
* Profile8d
* Profile12a
* Profile12b
* Profile17a

Can I just setup my new modem in bridge mode and update both  
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets with my new username &  
password and be good to go?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Wilber
