Most of their plan is dominated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/gfast\">G.fast<\/a> (10 million premises), although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> are consulting on a &#8220;<em>large scale<\/em>&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> roll-out (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/05\/bt-reach-9-3-mill-broadband-subscribers-openreach-moot-large-scale-fttp.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>However today our focus is on the hybrid-fibre G.fast service, which will offer two product tiers with download speeds of <strong>up to 160Mbps<\/strong> (30Mbps upload) and <strong>up to 330Mbps<\/strong> (30Mbps upload).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Kim Mears, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> MD for Infrastructure Delivery, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The UK is ahead of its major European neighbours when it comes to superfast broadband but technology never stands still \u2013 that\u2019s why we\u2019re building on our existing fibre network and leading the way in deploying ultrafast speeds.<\/p>\n<p>We need to stay ahead in order to meet the evolving needs of our customers. G.fast will allow us to do that by building on the investment we have made in fibre to date. It will transform the UK broadband landscape from superfast to ultrafast, and it will reach the largest number of people in the quickest possible time.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The technology itself works in a similar way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/vdsl\">VDSL2<\/a>) by running a fibre optic cable to your local <strong>PCP Street Cabinet<\/strong>, which is then fitted with an extension &#8220;<em>pod<\/em>&#8221; (right side of cabinet) that houses the G.fast line cards (currently this handles up to 48 ports, but it should extend to 96 this summer).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/bt-openreach-uk-illustrations\/gfast_long_openreach_diagram.png\" alt=\"gfast long openreach diagram\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Properties that exist less than 350 metres from this cabinet (copper line distance) should be able to receive close to the best download speeds, although poor home wiring can be a hindrance and speeds fall away rapidly on longer line lengths (500 metres is about the current limit).
