Ha ha ..... don't wish to sound al smug-like, but that's one of the perks of working for the company as it is now, (who knows when OR get separated ??) ... is that we get free broadband.

Would I pay £55 for ultrafast ..... not on your Nellie !! My circa 65Mbps is more than enough for our household.  :)

This has been my 'argument' since my time on these boards ...... fantastic speeds are all well and good, if one is prepared to pay the supplement. I personally feel most EU's would be happy with ~50Mbps ... just mho though.  :)

The people to take this is up is those far from the cabinet with speeds of under 40mbps, however, the idea of not deploying pods closer to the home (for the moment) means the prime target wont be able to get the product.

Also I throttled youtube to 40mbps on pfsense, and the video is fine. :)

Watched the 4k on a 19mbs line. Almost instant start and no buffering. Must say I was very impressed with the quality.

Will rollout phases be a thing like last time?

Saves checking roadworks all the time....

G.fast as deployed so far doesn't involve any roadworks unless the PCP needs a reshell.

Found the issue my CPU is to weak to run 4K on Chrome and it does not utilize the GPU very well taking the CPU to 98% while IE 11 only uses 15% of CPU and rest is being done by the GPU 49% while streaming 4K Video.

I refer the readers back to reply #2 of this thread. The clues are all there.

My parents cab in Wandsworth (one of the trial areas) has gone live in the last week. Sadly, the checker doesn't show it as available to them due to the distance from the cab.

Properties closer to the pod but still on the same road as my parents show G.Fast with 'Amber' listed under WBC FTTC Availability Date. Those near to the PCP just state 'Available' instead.

Would be interesting to know precisely what the 'Amber' means and if its possible that OR will one day replace the line cards with newer versions

Would be interesting to know precisely what the 'Amber' means . . .

My feeling is that it indicates a borderline circuit line length and until it has been tried, the status for a G.9700/9701 (a.k.a. G.Fast) service is unclear.

I'm just hoping that the launch of G.Fast will encourage VM to raise their uploads speeds (they certainly seem to be preparing to), as that's going to be far more use to me than G.Fast I expect for years to come.
