Well you seem to get things before me so there's no hope here then!

Certainly not by next Summer

I just know that someday when this G.fast is here and them and VM are competing to get the fastest I can choose either or both.

Yes, but why suddenly introduce it as a unique thing for 18/2? It's no different surely than the existing variants where it's never mentioned on the BTW checker I looked at. Take a peek .

It's a pity that it will come to Sheffield area (where Plusnet PLC will taking a trial there)

Is this the LR-VDSL2 product or in addition to it?

Yes I think so

No, it does not including LR-VDSL2 (if it does, it would addition on the checker page)

I doubt it. From the link I posted as the first reply, >> comments:-

Alas John no relevance, since it will for the trial period at least only be available to specific lines on specific cabinets who are only on ADSL

For faster speeds, you will be wanting to find out when/if Long Reach VDSL or lower noise margin figures are rolled out.

As I read it, it's just an OR product for people on enabled cabinets who will only get low FTTC speeds but still better than their ADSLx. They don't like paying for 40/2, 40/10, 55/10 so don't bother.

Or want more takeup.

Indeed.

The 18/2 product was in a trial by Openreach, and was available only on a few cabinets, and only to people who could only get limited speeds (below 2 or 3 Mbps IIRC). BT Wholesale didn't take part in the trial, so it was presumably meant for one of the LLU ISPs.

I don't know if it is now available more freely.

The 18/2 trial is separate from the LR-VDSL trial. The STIN for LR-VDSL specifies a single 40/10 profile.
