MGfast can do 10Gig on copper line


[link to this post]
 
Goodness me, MGfast can deliver 10Gig on copper line but within shorter distance of less than 100m. Seem ok for those who are a stone throw from the cabinet to benefit MGfast up to 10Gig.

That's pretty pointless though. It means that:

1. there must be some *powered* equipment less than 100m away from you; and
2. that equipment must have a 10G+ backhaul, which means it must have fibre

In that case, it makes much more sense just to pull a fibre for the last 100m, and be done with the powered equipment altogether.

That's basically what killed G.Fast as FTTRN.

Yup - If you're bringing fibre to within 100m of you, especially a 10GB bearer, might as well just hook it up direclty to the end user.

I could see it working in old old buildings like Parliament etc where it would just be horredously expensive to rip out the old copper and replace it, but niche examples.

I know you used Parliament as an example of an old building but in this case I pretty much guarantee Parliament already has fibre leased line installed. Flats I would say at the moment are the more likely candidate as it means you don't have to run fibres to all the flats and instead can use the existing copper lines. But what if the copper is degraded - surely that will mean the signal strength and reliability would be impacted which could mean it needs to be replaced - in which case you would just install fibre.

if fibre didn't exist this would be *perfect* but with fttp being available for a long time. Its kinda pointless for mainstream implementation.

Anyway, G.Fast isn't the only alternative broadband technology:

4 years ago BT researching MGfast before Openreach ditched it and ditched G.fast roll out to paused it in June 2020 until April 2021 but it decided Openreach are now rolling out FTTP instead.

Completely, totally and utterly pointless. Just a box ticking exercise by the standards bodies.
