For me
https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/exchanges/e...
is the wrong one

The postcode check is correct (apart from >100 being listed when virgin didn't quite make it to me)

And have pushed a change request into towards John that will fix you, and have also done a system wide database update to catch all the exchanges where the services table was not up to date.

LLU additions is more manual unfortunately

At the start of July, there were over 100,000 homes passed in the pilot areas.

I cannot provide you with the areas (I don't have them), but a further 116,000 premises were passed as part of Openreach's commercial build for 2017/2018 at the end of July. These were due to go live in early Aug for customer orders I believe.

By the end of March 2018, there should be over 1,000,000 premises with access to G.fast.

Given that the second block of 116,000 premises are not live unlikely for me to include them, and on the others if people are not seeing g.fast pop-up on our systems happen to add cabinets given a info on where they are....

So why do I say 38,000 when Openreach say 100,000, main reason is not losing sleep chasing down g.fast yet, the sleep is lost on FTTP and VDSL2

To be honest, it's largely meaningless anyway until people are able to actually order with ISPs.

There is a really really small number of people on G.fast as it's invitation only with the very limited number of ISPs who actually support it.

In reply to a post by AndyHCZ:

That's promising.

To pass 10m by the end of 2020, they then need to follow that up by passing a further 1m every quarter!

If an average of 200 premises past per cab, that's 1600 a month!

300 PP is still 1100 cabs per month.

Baring in mind G.fast pods only support 48 connections at the moment, 96 in future.

As usually the "available to" doesn't actually mean all could order it wink

I'm not quite up to speed with BDUK, but I assume that target for G.fast becomes a lot more reachable as the BDUK projects wind down.

Deploying G.fast is relatively quick and easy. It's the best way for a quick, widespread deployment of ultrafast capable speeds. What will remain to be seen is the uptake and performance over a large area.
