G.fast nationwide deployment in 2016-7 - pilots in Huntingdon & Gosforth in 2015

[#1]

Quote from: AndyH

Deployment will start in 2016/17, subject to the pilots being successful.

And plusnet won't be ready for G.fast FTTC package until 2018.

What a load of tosh.... why don't they just get on with giving people a proper service with fibre like so

^^ This area's houses are rich people that why

In some areas Openreach already have. By the way Telstra's footprint for FTTP is tiny, and the fastest they offer on it is 100Mb down, 5Mb up, with a 300GB/month limit.
If you call that a 'proper service' then all power to you. So long as it performs decently I couldn't care less how it's delivered and I would imagine the same goes for most.

Emphasis  on the word "FIBER", you know the stuff that feeds the world with speed.

I think from 2016, BT might get another updating via BT Broadband Availability checker like this below:
Area 1
G.fast 400 400 100 100 — Available
FTTC Range A (Clean) 80 80 20 20 — Available
FTTC Range B (Impacted) 80 61.9 20 12.2 — Available

Area 2
G.fast 400 400 100 100 — July 31 2018
FTTC Range A (Clean) 80 80 20 20 — Available
FTTC Range B (Impacted) 80 61.9 20 12.2 — Available

sadly i'm on a ECI fibre cab found that out by looking here https://www.telecom-tariffs.co.uk/codelook.htm so none of this including vectoring will be of any benefit for me unless BTO replace the ECI cabs with Huawei ones and the chances of that are nil.

Vectoring has already been tested on ECI kit.
Please people read the actual press release, or at very least the quotes I posted from it earlier.

[#9]

Tested yes doesn't mean it was successful which i beleive was the case

source of this?
testing by BT I mean.

[#11]

As far as I know it worked.
Regardless VDSL vectoring is irrelevant to this. Those served from existing cabinets would be few and far between, and it's not actually clear whether they would be served from existing DSLAMs with line card swaps or nodes colocated in existing cabinets.
Either way the people on ECI kit don't have a cause to panic. Perhaps waiting until the pilots are done and a roll-out schedule published before complaining about getting nothing would be a plan? To do anything else is presumptuous and super-pessimistic.

This thread is about G.fast not ECI vectoring capabilities, the two being entirely irrelevant to each other. There is I believe a vectoring trial thread where those on ECI cabinets who assume they'll never receive vectoring can air their frustrations.

[#13]

except g.fast requires vectoring to work properly.  So presumably if vectoring doesnt work then there is little point with g.fast.

[#14]

Damn. Gosforth is only a couple of exchanges away from mine!

[#15]

Gosforth has Huawei cabinets and Huntingdon has ECI cabinets - so that should put an end to this debate.
