Speed test done over wifi, and someone else is on the connection too.

That's a good speed what is your FTTC downstream line attenuation was before if u can remember it?

Pretty easy to have 426/70 on your g.fast but sadly they do capped 330/50

9db d/s attenuation

Mine is 11.7 dB that's why BT say to me No, u can't order G.fast 330/50 as your line is too far away from the cabinet. I guess my line is approx 270m away. I found out other site say G.fast work best within 250M or less! Anything more than that, forget it.

Would love some of that but no G-fast here. My line is 180m, so not as short, thanks to where Openreach broke into the EO bundle when installing our AIO cab. But for the loop of 90m (45m each way between two footway boxes), I'd be less than a 100m cable run from the cab.

Given it was a community gap funded AIO I suspect it's going to be a long wait for anything faster. But hey can't complain as most of us get a decent speed on VDSL.

To be brutally frank, we didn’t need extra speed, full 80/20 VDSL was coping perfectly well. Since FTTP will be a way off .... thought I’d give it a go.

...and it was free.

...and it was free.

262.7m from the pcp cabinet (is that from fibre cabinet?) as the pcp cabinet (telephone pcp green box) could be 212.7m away?

Is that right?

VDSL Downstream Line Attenuation (dB) v distance length to the pcp cabinet (not the vdsl fibre cabinet)

7dB - 50m - G.fast 330/50
8dB - 100m - G.fast 330/50
9dB - 150m - G.fast 330/50

10dB - 200m - G.fast 230/30
11dB - 250m - G.fast 170/20
12dB - 300m - G.fast 110/10

My dsl checker for G.fast from BTw:

G.fast Range B (Impacted) 180.3 124.7 22.2 10.7 112.9 Green Green --

Mate,

you are obsessed with line stats and figures, every line will be different, only way to know the real speed is to have it enabled.
