This is interesting news. I think the main problem with G.fast is the quality of copper lines its going down. At least now the people moving on to it will have a better chance of seeing a significant speed increase, especially if they were already getting the highest speed on FTTC at 80Mbps. I wonder if there was cases were someone on the highest speed on FTTC was getting either the same or lesser speeds when they moved to G.fast?
As for the overall state of G.fast this will reduce its availability, and is kind of an acknowledgement that its struggling to keep up with being priced along side FTTP packages. As anyone connected on G.fast at 330Mbps ?
I agree with your last line @gt94sss2 - hopefully this is a sign that FTTP is now taking an increasing priority over G.fast.
It is encouraging that it feels like someone in OR is thinking very pragmatically about the future. Along side this G.fast news, and also todays news that ECI cabinets are now on the cards to be replaced, it looks like OR are taking bigger strides with a view to the future.
