Wiring for Bonded VDSL2?

I was told by my representative that my internet is activated on their end for a bonded VDSL2 connection.
The problem is, I don't exactly know how to get it properly wired into the phone box.
I was having latency problems with my previous phone line, so I upgraded the line to a Solid Cat 6, ran about 50 feet to the modem. We don't use landlines, so the internet is the only thing hooked up as a single twisted pair on both ends.
If what I'm reading is true, is that I need to have at least 2 twisted pairs wired from the NID to the wall jack.
We previously had a few phones hooked up around the house when we used to have a landline, but I thought by disconnecting all pairs except for a single pair to the modem, that I could remove all interference. That is now the case with the new Cat 6.
The patch cable with the modem I received from my ISP (Model: Arris NVG443B) shows two pairs inside the rj11 jacks, blue/blue-white and orange/orange-white.
Could it be so simple as to wire a second pair from the cat6 cable to enable the bonded connection?
Any additional tips I can learn about this setup that could help me out in ensuring I have the best connection?

Solution
It depends on the phone company I suspect but in effect you just connect a pair of wires to each connector.

Older ones had screw terminals that you used to connect wires. Newer ones I have seen have RJ11 jacks. The ones I saw the ISP directly punched the incoming wires into the jacks.

As long as you do not mix the pair between the 2 phone connections the modem should just figure this out. I do not know if there is any dependency as to which phone line goes to inner and outer pair.

The ones I have done the ISP knew we were running vdsl and wired the RJ11 jack in the nid and all I had to do was plug a pretty standard cable into it.
You do need 2 pair to run VDSL. If you have rj11 jacks pair 1 is on the middle 2 pins and pair 2 is on the pins just out side. So pins 3,4 for pair 1 and 2,5 for pair 2.

If you have rj45 on 1 end or the other it is more complex but it is still the middle 4 pins in the jack with pair 1 in the center and pair 2 on either side of pair 1.
 
Thanks for the reply.
I think I can get the inside wiring okay, but what about the wiring in the NID?
I'm not sure how to explain what this is, but it's a singular module with a latch cover and 4 punch down tabs for wire pairs.
Do I just add a second pair to this module?

So apparently, the representative I talked to didn't have a proper handle on her knowledge; apparently I do not work on Bonded VDSL. Simply the single wire-pair is all that I need from what my local rep said.
I'm having an intermittent disconnect issue which I thought may have been resolved if I were to actually have been receiving a bonded connection. I'll post a thread about it if necessary after this next Tech visit that is scheduled for tomorrow morning.
Thank you for all your help.
