... but seems to be paying a lot for it.

You probably haven't seen this post in "Which ISP?"

How much are you paying for it Max?

£49.99 per month on a 12 months contract (my daughter and I will pay half split)

My gfast router stats

I can see Attainable Net Data Rate 186Meg down and 28Meg up. Good job I went for 160/30 happy overall. Don't need gfast 330/50 as I won't get it but strange engineer test kit say 158.99 M line length to the gfast cab from the socket. (I believe it won't be more than that because Attainable Net Data Rate would have been over 330/50).

Not complained at all.

I think engineer is wrong there. The line length didn't show it. It was actually 158.99 M data rate (that not line length lol)

Probably better to start posting about it in a different forum . Now we know it's working fine.

Sig and Profile to update too. Maybe a live BQM link in your sig as well? G.Fast BQMs aren't seen much.

Done updated my sig.

I don't think that knowing somebody that knows somebody else that might have said something is really credible evidence that Gfast is iffy or hit and miss.

Just done my sig BQM as I have to deleted the old one

But it was working. I checked earlier.

I don't understand why the new ISP wants a new line installing though. G.Fast normally simply replaces the FTTC on the existing copper, and should just need the new modem installing and the router connected to that.

I can't speak for this install, but we often install a new circuit for our customers, rather than deal with takeovers or other potential issues. It's not that big a deal if that's how it is done by this ISP.
