The pilot is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s final step before they start a full commercial deployment, which will aim to reach 10 million UK premises by 2020 and then &#8220;<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2015\/10\/bt-and-alcatel-lucent-hit-5600mbps-broadband-using-xg-fast-tech.html\">most of the UK<\/a><\/em>&#8221; by 2025. We think that &#8220;<em>most<\/em>&#8221; will probably equate to around 60% UK coverage (inc. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a>) but this is not confirmed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Mairead Meyer, BT N.Ireland&#8217;s MD of Networks, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are delighted to announce that parts of Antrim will be among the first locations in the UK to get ultrafast speeds using G.fast technology. We recently rolled out ultrafast in Newtownards and it proved very successful for local residents and we look forward to offering Antrim the same benefits.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The technology works by running a fibre optic cable to your local <strong>PCP Street Cabinet<\/strong>, which is then extended in size via the addition of a new extension &#8220;<em>pod<\/em>&#8221; that houses the G.fast line cards. Properties that exist less than 350 metres from this cabinet (copper line distance) should be able to receive speeds of up to <strong>330Mbps<\/strong> (50Mbps upload). A <strong>160Mbps<\/strong> (30Mbps upload) option is also available. Generally you&#8217;ll need to be within 500 metres of the cabinet to stand a chance of getting the service.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly the announcement makes no mention of BT&#8217;s deployment in N.Ireland being part of a pilot, although we assume that it is since previous documents have suggested that the commercial roll-out probably won&#8217;t begin until the latter half of 2017 and we&#8217;re still waiting for the final product pricing to be confirmed (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/10\/bt-publish-first-uk-prices-330mbps-capable-g-fast-broadband-pilot.html\">pilot prices<\/a>).
