BT Business FTTC and Fastpath
« on: May 24, 2024, 05:27:47 PM »

Hi, I'm thinking for getting Business BT FTTC, is it possible to get the line set to Fast Path?

Hi Waynee, welcome to the forum :)

Although I am not from UK but I have been around the forum for sometime and have some knowledge about FTTC in UK.. So for your question I think there will be no technical differences between residential and business FTTC Plans i.e if you get connected to Huawei cabinet on Business BT FTTC line will probably be Fastpath (both DS/US) and G.INP (on DS) and in case of ECI cabinet the line will probably be on Fastpath like on Huawei ones but G.INP might be not enabled.. (Last time I heard about ECI G.INP it was not wide spread as I believe, do not know what the situation is now.)

I'm not aware that a line can but set to Fastpath but unless it's a pretty bad line that is almost certainly what you'll get, certainly on a Huawei cabinet with G.INP. If you are on an ECI cabinet things are less clear cut as most I believe still don't have G.INP enabled so if there are significant errors DLM may resort to interleaving to resolve them.

Not possible. It isn't possible with any Openreach based FTTC regardless of provider.

Providers can only choose the DLM policy. They can't pick interleaved/fastpath etc. The DLM determines that on its own.

If it's a Huawei cabinet then G.INP will be enabled on the downstream by default.
If it's an ECI cabinet then who knows. It appears they resolved the G.INP issues but I'm not certain it's enabled all round.
