Article out today from Point-Topic who monitor growth in the broadband sector.
According to research by Point Topic, 33 telecoms operators and ISPs have deployed or are planning to roll out this technology in the near future. Fourteen companies are at the trialling stage, having conducted lab and in some cases field trials. Another 13 are deploying G.fast on their networks, with the commercial launches expected in the next 1-2 years. Finally, six operators worldwide have live G.fast services, with maximum download speeds offered varying from 300Mbps to 500Mbps.
BT and Swisscom are leading G.fast deployment in Europe. In the UK, BT has committed to covering 10 million premises by 2020, although only 93,000 live as of early 2018. The operator uses FTTC (fibre to the cabinet) and offers download speeds of up to 330Mbps.
