Remember many moons back ...... I think it was Kitz herself that commented, "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it ??" .............. well, we've got it.The relentless push for more speed 'like yesterday', which is driving Ofcom's ill-thought out targets .... has seen the need for this sticking plaster. As a business decision ... it was made for them.
I actually said I dont like the push for speeds for marketing The advantages of vectoring tho is its a speed enabler, so doesnt necessarily raise max speeds but allows more people to get speeds in higher range of existing services, in turn it also boosts reliability of the connection.I can of course see why BT made this decision, ofcom are letting VM push marketed speeds like crazy without any consideration of service quality, and BT are merely reacting to that. Marketing battle.
as I still am unsure of how to take a snippet of a quote and paste it !! It is just something my weakening memory can't retain.
I've seen a G.Fast pod on a PCP with an ECI twin next to it, if that answers your question.
Yes the G.Fast pod on an ECI twin answers my question
There's no connection in any way between the G.Fast pod and the fibre cabinet.
but the cabinet based approach now appears to be the forming the main thrust of their roll-out. In this setup the G.fast extension (pod) is actually attached to the side of a normal green PCP cabinet, while the power and fibre optic cable are run in from the usually nearby FTTC / VDSL2 cabinet.
