It's not. The engineer said my DP was 330 meters and my line to my house is another 30 meters.

Very odd as normally BTWholesale will NOT selling any G.fast if line length is over 300m - look like my G.fast is 220m away not 280m cos my VDSL2 is 250m away. Easy to get mix up with line length

Mine is according to google map (dsl cable route to the pcp cabinet from back garden to the cabinet - not straight line)

831 ft - 253.1 metres line length - VDSL2
929 ft - 283.1 metres line length - G.fast or
732 ft - 223.1 metres line length - G.fast

BTWholesale don't pick who to sell G.Fast to, it's OpenReach.

There's no arbitrary cut off distance either. Not 300m or 350m.
The only thing that matters is the sync speed.

If a line is 400m and syncs at 130Mb/s on G.Fast then OpenReach will sell it.
If a line is 250m but only syncs at 90Mb/s then OpenReach won't sell it.

You're obsessing with the exact distance for some reason. It doesn't matter much.
You can be told a distance by 1 engineer and the very next day a different engineer could have a different figure.

I wouldn't expect a GEA test and and engineer to give the exact same figures either.
It depends on a number of factors including what test equipment is being used to measure line length.

My last couple GEA tests estimated line length varied by nearly 50m between the 2 tests.

12 days since fibre went live, very stable so would it be ok now to switch my sky102 router to the sky ER115

Neither of those Sky supplied routers are great (in my opinion).

No maybe not but thats all i have at present. Can you recommend a modem/router at not a high price?
I was looking at a Tp link one like this

ER115 is much better than the 102.

Yes that will work,its slightly cheaper on Amazon if you have Prime, Amazon also great for returns if you find it's not for you.

Ok thanks for replies i will take note, but its 13 days now since fibre went live, so would it be fine now to replace the SR102 with the ER115, line has been very stable.
