G.fast install spotted

Hi all,

Long time since I have posted here, work and family seem to have got in the way!!

Anyway's there I was minding my own business when what did I see being installed on the PCP serving my address? Only a brand new G.fast Pod. Over the next could of days I could see the fibre being run to the new pod. I suspect it still needs the new line cards etc to be installed but I am looking forward to seeing the new predicted speeds on the DSL checker and some services being made available.

Post Code? Are you on the G. Fast Trial area?

Post Code is BT92 2BD. Not in an existing trial area afaik

Cabinet 1? Any photo taken of the cabinet got g.fast pod installed?

Thanks, you must be lucky one to get g.fast shortly! But, I can see it based in Northern Ireland.

First one is the PCP with new G.fast pod. Second pic is the FTTC Cab

That's just a PCP extension to allow more space for lines. It's not a G.Fast pod.

Usually happens when there's a new housing development planned, or when a second FTTC cab is to be built/more tie pairs are needed for additional line cards in existing FTTC cabs.

That's not a gfast pod. It's just a copper extension
