I have just upgraded from FTTC (vdsl) to FTTP supplied by City Fibre. I was and still am using my Cisco 891F router.
With FTTC I was using an old BT modem so I had an Ethernet WAN connection to that, with no sub interfaces or VLANS.
After reading about VLAN 911 on various forums I created a sub interface on the WAN Ethernet port (VLAN 911) and modified the dialer configuration accordingly and got connected using my existing Vodafone credentials.
However, two days later (today) the connection went down and debugging my router showed I had a PPPoE authentication error. I contacted Vodafone support and got new credentials and all is working again.
For those interested here are the relevant bits of configuration.
