Any sign of G.Fast pilot areas going live yet?

Lots of boxes, no sign of service as yet...

I agree.

So far I've only seen one guy on youtube in a gfast pilot area setting up his connection.

Is there some kind of NDA on people in a pilot area not to give out information?

Well I'm in Bath, one of the new area's chosen for the extended G Fast trial, cabinet went in several months ago, & nothing, no offer of getting on trial or anything else.

I'm actually in a pilot area, and I'm not seeing any activity beyond the boxes being installed. Nothing is becoming available.

The live premise count has gone from 39,000 to 51,000 in the last 2 weeks, and that's from just randomly finding the pods so likely to be lots more

The map at https://labs.thinkbroadband.com/local/broadband-map is missing the cabs in Middenhall, Suffolk and will get updated later in the week

Not as far as I know.

We have customers live and pending for G.fast services. Just the sample area of who can get a service is relatively small.

Here's one for example

Address EASTER DALRY ROAD, EDINBURGH, EH11 2TS on Exchange DONALDSON is served by Cabinet 13

Same here.

G.Fast cabinet fitted months ago. Exchange listed on the extended trial list, but no sign of anything on the BT Wholesale Checker.
Have looked up a couple of G.Fast cabinets on the Combe Down exchange (not listed on the extended trial list) and that's not on the BT Wholesale Checker either.

Spotted a pair of OpenReach staff working at a pair of FTTC/PCP cabinets this morning though.

The only place I've seen on the BT Wholesale Checker was a cabinet on the Swindon exchange from the original trial list.

There still a few cabinets which haven't had a G Fast pod added yet in Bath, like Cabinet 46, on A36 Warminter Road junction of North Road & a lot of the older iron cabinets are also bare.
Also been a lot of OR activity at Holburne Park (old MOD site) just up the road.

Still all quiet in Hunslet.
