I noted on a BT site that the Filter/Links in those G.Fast extension cabinets are coloured Orange, rather than the White in FTTC Cabinets.

I presume that this is to clearly distinguish them - presume different frequency spectrum or such-like.

Any definite information?

Thanks.

And if so, does that mean new filters in the house, whether in the NTE or "dangly" ones?

That G.fast is a different frequency band can confirm, current is up to 116 MHz (so FM band with notches out for ADSL/VDSL2 overlaps) and work is on doubling that band size

The xDSL filters are low-pass filters so it is unlikely the current ones won't work.

Looks cold brrr

It is but thankfully we didn't get the snow that was predicted.

Just a PCP extension.

There is a large hotel being built just over the road from this cabinet which is near completion do you think this extension has something to do with that?

Yes, quite likely.

Not convinced. Large hotels would generally use a leased line not FTTC - and even if they were using FTTC they wouldn't use many lines (because if they needed lots of lines then a leased line would be more economical) to make it likely that a cab extension would be required. Far more likely it is just that the cab is full and the hotel is a coincidence.

True, but the suggestion is perfectly valid.

Valid but I don't believe likely.

Understood. I suppose if there's a new housing development nearby, that could suggest it, but obviously we don't know that.
