Gfast up to 76Mbps?

I was surprised Openreach Fibre Checker now changing G.fast up to 76Mbps the same speed as FTTC up to 76Mbps?

Because they want to get rid of it, so making it not worth having.

Nope as mine is 245/35 on my current G.fast! Sync 261/36 from Openreach G.fast Modem. (can't get FTTP at the moment)

Adrian is right. This is a marketing change, likely OR have stopped selling G.Fast. They are not withdrawing service from people using like yourself. The technology didn't work well enough, not enough people from a cabinet could get higher speeds. You were lucky.
