Vectoring across multiple co boxes/cards/dslams either owned by the same operator or by different operators

A method for wireline communication, comprising:

• providing service by a first distribution point to a first set of consumer premises equipment (CPEs) over a first set of lines in a binder, wherein the binder further comprises a second set of lines associated with a second set of CPEs serviced by a second distribution point;
• receiving crosstalk information associated with crosstalk between the first set of CPEs and the second set of CPEs without receiving data sent to or from the second set of CPEs;
• and
• using the crosstalk information to reduce crosstalk between the first set of lines and the second set of lines.

A communication device for wireline communication, in a system comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the communication device to:
• provide service by a first distribution point to a first set of consumer premises equipment (CPEs) over a first set of lines in a binder, wherein the binder further comprises a second set of lines associated with a second set of CPEs serviced by a second distribution point;
• virtualize a third set of lines at the first distribution point corresponding to the second set of CPEs;
• obtain a channel estimation for each CPE of the first set of CPEs using the first set of lines and the third set of lines;
• and
• compensate transmissions for a CPE on the first set of lines based at least in part on the channel estimation, wherein the compensation is to reduce crosstalk between the first set of lines and the second set of lines.
