Gfast Pod, VDSL Extension Pod or could be either?

You must live next to the cabinet

not necessarily. I'm about 150m from my cabinet.

Appreciate the info, even if it is a bit of a killjoy

If it does turn out to be G.Fast it will be the 1st pod I've seen deployed in a very long time.

As mentioned in my previous post the vast vast majority of these vented pods that are installed now are for VDSL capacity expansion.

Out of interest which exchange area is this and is there any G.Fast in the area?

Exchange is SWPTH.

I've seen a few identical pods pop up on other local cabinets in the last few weeks. Not seen any addresses I check on the wholesale checker pinging as gfast yet though.

Does the exchange have to be configured for GFast over and above VDSL configuration.

Has G.Fast appeared on the broadband checker website for you yet ? That would be the definitive answer.

Not yet, but it isn't due live until April. I'm trying to refrain myself from checking hourly and limiting myself to one daily check

VDSL availability has changed from "waiting list" to "available" so the assumption is, it was a VDSL extension Pod that is now Live. No Sign of GFast on the wholesale checker.

My Checker here: But I am happy with my VDSL2 80/20 don't need G.fast

One of these pods has just appeared next to my existing PCP too
