That's the fun bit. You'd be surprised what you can see at height .......... it's almost as if the poles were designed for bedroom level.

Quality of the D-side network played a large part from the Chief Engineers representative, as they touched upon the trialling and subsequent roll-out of G.Fast (NGA2) technology.

The concensus thus far is that this technology works ok up to approx. 300mtrs, but testing is being done on extending this to 350-400mtrs if possible. The speaker was bluntly adamant that the trial (Starting approx. in September) WILL be successful, and roll-out WILL begin hopefully in 2017.

It is the trial that will determine distances and subsequent location of the unit housing the G.Fast technology. IE: At the Cab, a UG node, the DP ??

What G.fast technology are they trialling, the "standard" G.fast or the stuff Sckipio publicised -

Now Sckipio claims to have “successfully demonstrated“, albeit only as part of a laboratory trial, a tweaked version of G.fast that “doubles the official ITU targets” for the technology by delivering speeds of greater than 500Mbps over 200 metres of copper cable and more than 200Mbps at 400 metres (the 400m figure is particularly impressive for G.fast). However it’s unclear if this is just on the download or aggregated with upload.
