The co-founder and CEO of Sckipio Technologies, David Baum, has suggested to ISPreview.co.uk that BT’s plan to roll-out 300Mbps G.fast broadband technology could save as much as £980 per home vs a pure fibre optic (FTTH/P) network and even faster speeds should be possible in the future.

Israel-based Sckipio knows a thing or two about the new G.fast (ITU G.9700/9701) technology because they helped to create about 20% of the technical standard. On top of that they’ve also assisted with Openreach’s (BT) trials of the service, which is important because the operator hopes to start rolling out across the United Kingdom in 2017.
