In the meantime we anticipate that Openreach will throw out some similar &#8220;<em>now available<\/em>&#8221; style press releases for the other 26 pilot additions, which were first announced in August 2017 and are now slowly reaching completion.<\/p>\n<p>However a lot of those with the desire to be early adopters may be disappointed when they realise that in a fair few areas the old <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>) service can sometimes deliver a faster speed than G.fast tech, which prefers much shorter copper lines (ideally sub 350 metres). There&#8217;s a cross over point where we&#8217;ve been seeing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/vdsl\">VDSL2<\/a> speeds beat G.fast by a significant margin, although G.fast&#8217;s Fault Threshold of 100Mbps should help to keep some separation at the retail ISP level.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>The 46 G.fast Pilot Locations<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nArmley, West Yorkshire<br \/>\nBalham, South London<br \/>\nBath Kingsmead, Somerset<br \/>\nBishops Stortford, Hertfordshire<br \/>\nBolton, Greater Manchester<br \/>\nBrierley Hill, West Midlands<br \/>\nBrighton Hove, East Sussex<br \/>\nCheltenham, Gloucestershire<br \/>\nCherry Hinton, Cambridgeshire<br \/>\nChorlton, Manchester<br \/>\nDerby, Derbyshire<br \/>\nDonaldson, Edinburgh<br \/>\nEltham, South London<br \/>\nGillingham, Kent<br \/>\nGlasgow Bridgeton<br \/>\nGlasgow Douglas<br \/>\nGlasgow Langside<br \/>\nGreat Barr, West Midlands<br \/>\nHammersmith, West London<br \/>\nHemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire<br \/>\nHigh Wycombe, Buckinghamshire<br \/>\nHunslet, West Yorkshire<br \/>\nHuntingdon, Cambridgeshire<br \/>\nKidbrooke, South London<br \/>\nLiverpool Central<br \/>\nLofthouse Gate, West Yorkshire<br \/>\nLuton, Bedfordshire<br \/>\nManchester East<br \/>\nMansfield, Nottinghamshire<br \/>\nNewbury, Berkshire<br \/>\nNewcastle upon Tyne<br \/>\nNewmarket, Suffolk<br \/>\nNorth Birmingham<br \/>\nParsons Green, West London<br \/>\nPortsmouth North End<br \/>\nPudsey, West Yorkshire<br \/>\nRochdale, Manchester<br \/>\nRusholme, Manchester<br \/>\nSheffield, South Yorkshire<br \/>\nSouth Clapham, South London<br \/>\nSt. Austell, Cornwall<br \/>\nSwansea, Wales<br \/>\nSwindon, Wiltshire<br \/>\nUpton Park, East London<br \/>\nWandsworth, South London and<br \/>\nWhitchurch, South Glamorgan<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Openreach (BT) has announced that their new 330Mbps capable hybrid fibre G.fast broadband network is &#8220;now available&#8221; to thousands of people in Bath, Glasgow and Edinburgh, although none of the major ISPs have launched public packages and the final EMD phase still hasn&#8217;t begun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[474,417,69],"class_list":["post-15156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bt","tag-g-fast","tag-bt-openreach"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
