The only real addtion is the Max observed speeds but the data it shows is months old, almost 5 months for me, I don't see what purpose it has other than maybe to show what speeds you had at one point to argue a case if the speeds were to drop so Openreach couldn't fob you off with the "your line wouldn't be capable" bs that some enginners like to peddle when they dont want to do the work.

I think the purpose is so that ISPs can provide estimates based on actual current speeds.
I don't think it's going to store the highest speed you once had.

I note that my number is still reported as being connected to a Market A exchange despite it being changed to Market B back in the July reclassification.

Hi All,
I wondered if anyone here know the answer or can point me in the right direction, its not that urgent until I can purchase ultrafast for Plusnet anyway but I noticed an anomaly. If I use the new BTW checker above with my number it shows no G.Fast, if I use my next door neighbour's number (10 yards away, served by the same exchange and cabinet) it shows G.Fast available - I would have thought if it was in the street cab its in the street cab - is this not the case?
Just asking out of curiosity for now!
Thanks in advance for anyone who can shed some light on it!

Gfast sadly drops off very quickly in terms of distance I'm not 100% certain but i think it's around 500m being the max anything over that and it's no good you won't get it, do you know how far from the fibre cab you are, it could well be that your neighbour is just in the limit and your outside it.

I've had fibre for years, so how/where does it say that G.Fast is present/absent?
Mine says that FTTC is available, but for the last couple of years there have been no available slots for new customers.
