Hi,

My PCP has recently been upgraded with two additional pods having been bolted-on. I'm hoping that one of them may be for G.fast. I have done a bit of searching and I think that the one on the left side is just for extra capacity, and that the one on the right is (hopefully) for G.fast.

Hopefully someone can have a look at the attached photos and confirm this?

I have BT Broadband Availability Checker and there is no mention of G.fast yet, but my line is provided by Sky, so I can only do an address search.

If this is a G.fast pod, what can I expect next? Is there anywhere else that I can find more information on availability?

Yeah the one on the right with the vents looks like Nokia G.fast

They use these vented side pods for VDSL now.
You can't tell if it's a G.Fast pod from looking any more.

Fooled me a few weeks back too.    :/
There's about half a dozen cabs in my immediate area which have very recently had a new vented pod attached.   
One of the cabs had one of the 'standard' pair relief pods attached a few months ago..  then within the past few weeks also had a vented pod fitted on the other side at around the same time as the others.

Mine's definitely not g.fast and has since been confirmed as containing additional tie pairs.
