Openreach told me there still trial on g.fast. If the g.fast pod is fitted to the pcp cabinet and it will not go LIVE until BT Wholesale G.Fast commercial rollout then it will show up on the DSL Checker.

I wish the trial would finish soon and Plusnet would start offering it fully - as long as the price isn't stupid I would order it now. My cabinet is listed as available and my clean line rate is 330 (hi/lo) so i should see a considerable speed improvement compared to FTTC (which at 80 is not too shabby). The only slight issue for me is the G.Fast pod is listing as amber availability now, so I guess it is filling up.

I'm in contract until 2020 so limited without buying out and the extra speed isn't worth that much - just wishful thinking on my behalf. I don't have a GEA test result from what I can see (though I can be blind sometimes). The cabinet is not far away (about 6 houses down the street) and I get speeds around 72-75Mbps throughput usually, so about the expected level for an 80Mb sync.
You can see my ADSL stats are poor though - the copper line from the cabinet to the exchange is in a very poor state, and any new phone lines cause pain for the engineers as they try to find some good pairs (took an engineer about 45 minutes to find one for me a few years back). At the time the ADSL expected speeds were around 12-15Mb from memory, but I was lucky to get 4Mb reliably.

@Mordorf let's us know how it goes with g.fast from zen internet. As for PN, they will not offer g.fast because it cost too expensive monthly charge from BTWholesale. PN is a budget value for money.
