G.fast neighbour verus mine

One of my neighbour got G.fast activated this morning by openreach engineer, thanks for neighbour accepted me to talk to an engineer about G.fast of why is my house only get 114-207 down / 9-29 up and my neighbour getting 324-330 down / 31-50 up by BTw checker.

My neighbour is two next door of mine with same layout footpath, same DP, same exchange and same cabinet as both of us are underground DP telephone cable. Openreach engineer just told neighbour their actually line length is 142m from the cabinet and got max line rate of 427 down and 61 up with both noise margin set at 6dB. The engineer also replaced G.fast master socket.

The engineer are kindly have a quick look at my property and he found 4 master sockets in my house this is the reason I get low estimated G.fast but he told me not to worry because once I ordered G.fast then the engineer will check all these master sockets to find the best higher speed for G.fast and he say I should get 330/50 with no problem as he look up on his kit tool that my cabinet has the same layout as my neighbour.

Four masters in your house, and after all these years of being on the forums too. Shocked I am.

That said, I fail to see why four NTE�s would register on any online guesstimator ?

Also, if there actually is 4 NTE�s across the pair, why oh why didn�t it result in a bridge tap fault, giving errors and speed loss on FTTC ?

Looks like you are the King of the master sockets

Think there is more to this story

There already 4 master sockets in my property when I moving in 2007. There is master socket in the hallway, two bedrooms and one in living room. The FTTC connected to hallway master socket.

Are you sure he said they were all master sockets?

The hallway master socket only got two wiring connected to live FTTC from BT exchange
