G.Fast - Can a new subscriber get it?

Following on from my previous post, I have been looking at buying a house, as a first time buyer.

During my search I found a property that (according to the BT Wholesale checker) can get G.Fast, as shown here. However looking at some of the major providers none of them quote the higher potential speeds.

Is G.Fast not available to new subscribers?

G.fast are available with unchained ISP with 330/50 but expensive at £56.99 a month and you will get free installation with openreach gfast modem, free setup and including free static ip address for line only. Gfast are with talktalk business backhaul. And it 12 months contract.

Have you checked talktalk TALKTALK the Fibre 250 states average speed of 290 Mbps so is probably the same speed tier.

Few isps will do Gfast as a new subscriber are

BT
EE
TalkTalk
TalkTalk Business
Pulse8
Freeola
UnchainedISP
Fibre.Net
Cerberus

The DO offer above 80/20 speeds, interesting that they are the only "mainstream" ISP I am aware of so far.

Thanks for that.

Plus8 quote FTTC speeds for G.Fast as in 80/20.

Fastest G.Fast predicted speeds I have seen. The cabinet might be right outside the front garden

That's what i was thinking

On the checker result, what does "Green" mean, other than the colour of the cabinet?

Cheers!

I suspect the OP's cab is about the same looking at the estimated rates, Can't speak for G fast but looking at his and mine VDSL 2 estimates i can be sure that he's less than 90M (cable length) from the cab that's mine BT wholesale availability checker

Didn't see where the Cab was, I am sure I will have a look if I go see the property.
