Think i saw one in Tilehurst exch ( the old bit at front )

Hopefully BT deploy the unused spectrum between VDSL and Gast to get a better range of speeds.

There is none, they already changed band plans to use it a while ago.

According to who? From what ive read up and been told this is not the case.

Edit I've done some digging and they have changed the band plan on some cabs not all and its in the process of being rolled out. From what i've read up Vectoring needs to be enabled on VDSL but don't quote me on that.

You've been told wrong.

Edit: just seen your edit.

Every single G.Fast line I've seen in the last couple months has the new band plan.
If you have access to stats it's easy to tell.

Will be rolled out across the country by now.

2nd edit:

Quoted anyway. That's absolutely nonsense.
VDSL2 Vectoring and G.Fast are completely unrelated.
It makes as much sense as saying my microwave must be on.

The G.Fast and VDSL2 DSLAM's do not talk to each other. They simply share a power supply.
Vectoring being present on the VDSL2 DSLAM makes absolutely zero difference to G.Fast. They're on different frequencies. The presence or lack of Vectoring makes ZERO difference.

The cabinet the G.Fast band plan changes were initially spotted on (linked above from kitz forum) does not have VDSL2 Vectoring, and likely will never have it.

Would love to know where you read that VDSL2 Vectoring is required for the G.Fast band plan changes or if you're just making stuff up.

Thanks MC, I don�t get over that way any more (as you know) if you are in that neck of the woods could you check for me please ?

Nice how fat are you looks like within 200 meters to me.

Engineer say 215 meters

Yeah looks about right to me, I prefer my Gfast over the VDSL, it just seems better and the ping is lower too with less hops.

It will also save on anymore crosstalk chopping my VDSL line down as it was already at below 6db when I switched from 18+ when I moved in.

yep the upload are lots quicker in google drive for all photos and videos. I was shocked to be honest never expecting this short length 215 meters (I thought I was about 350m away)
