I kept checking for availability of g.fast on the BT site but it never showed, so must be some other reason.

Not every houses show up G.fast my house is showing G.fast but four houses down by mine get no G.fast but a house next to it got G.fast. Depend on telephone line route.

Interesting. Which cabinet on which exchange if you don't mind my asking?

They could certainly remove pods that haven't been made live yet. They can't do so for those that have been enabled as far as I know - if G.fast is active it will remain so.

Is there any FTTP nearby? Norwich does have a few bits here and there, however there's nothing to indicate a larger FTTP rollout any time soon.

The usual indicators would show as a bunch of roadworks to unblock ducts, replace or put in new poles, etc.

It�s cabinet 29 on THORPE exchange.

There is some FTTP about a mile up the road on a new housing development.

That actually looks like exactly the kind of area you'd build FTTP for.

Fingers crossed for you guys that's the case.

Oh great I hope so!
We had to suffer with up to 3Mbps for years so it would be nice to be ahead for a change!

Out of interest, how do you find the locations of the cabinets?
That postcode is right next to mine!
