You'll be getting the same result for a long time yet

Why bother offering a "business" service with just a "Guaranteed 12Mbps throughput".

edit: read that wrong.

I'd be pretty annoyed getting 20Mbps on a 330Mbps product and being told tough it's above our guarantee. New tech or not that sounds pretty shady.

It is the main reason I didnt proceed with an FTTPoD connection as even for that the guaranteed minimum was 40Mbps on a 330Mbps connection. Zen offer a throughput guarantee of 60Mbps on my 80/20 FTTC connection.

such ambitious guaranteed throughput.

sky offer something like 70% of the estimate as guaranteed on consumer connections.

Thought they'd make a beeline for Cuckoo Oak?

The likely changes to advertising of broadband speeds will impact G.fast from the cabinet quite heavily, which was probably the intention. Looking at the consultation I can easily imagine that G.fast from the cabinet will be scaled back pretty heavily in favour of FTTP and an FTTS/RN solution.

Is there a table anywhere for G.Fast speeds and distance like there is for FTTC?

My house can have FTTPoD of 330/30 product say the isp.

Distance Based Charge Band F £5,250 inc vat
Installation Charge £1,440 inc vat
Monthly Charge £300 inc vat (36 months contract)

Total cost £17,490

After 36 months can revert to cheaper FTTP 330/50 for £119 a month (depend on BT price change in 2020)

£119 per month including VAT?

yes

I suspect that's an error.

Openreach charge £1188 excluding VAT.

So whoever gave that quote would be charging around £9 per month for their side of it.

I think not.

I have re-edited it. My mistake the £119 monthly charge is for FTTP. Not FTTPoD as it would cost £300 a month inc VAT.

No cheaper than anywhere else then.

Yes it seem so expensive.

Have to wait until cheaper g.fast 330/50

any idea whats the hold up for these advertising changes?

BT delaying it with awkwardness?
regulator deliberately allowing isp's to adjust first?

Seems to be taking a long time.

probably but I expect at the moment only on trial documents, However they likely out of date as BT's deployment is using a modified spec which will boost performance and distance.

Yea google doesn't bring up much.
