Can I use an old ADSL inline filter/splitter for a VDSL connection?

I have an old ADSL inline filter/splitter that plugged into my phone line which I used to use on my old internet setup:

I no longer need it, but someone else I know may need it for their Australian NBN Fibre To The Node connection (this uses similar technology to a standard VDSL connection)

So can this ADSL splitter be used with a VDSL connection? I've seen similar newer products that explicitly support VDSL connections, so if I can't use this one I'll probably buy one of those, but I just thought I'd check.

If it is possible to use this old one, is it practical? By that I mean, if I'm on a 50mbps down/20 up plan, will this adaptor limit the speeds to the maximum ADSL speeds (~8mbps D/1mbps U)?

Solution 1:

I would purchase a new splitter as splitters do tend to go faulty over time, and they are not expensive devices. I note that you really want to try and avoid splitters on VDSL. (ie have a single in-wall splitter where the VDSL comes into the property if you can house your modem there.)

That said, it is likely an ADSL filter will work fine with VDSL - it is most likely made before VDSL was a thing.
