It would still be from the same cabinet.

He's ordering a product with an extremely short range.
Upon ordering you are given an estimate based on the cabinet number quoted on the wholesale checker.

He knows it's cabinet 8.
I know it's cabinet 8.
It's cabinet 8, new line or not.

That's how all VDSL2 and G.Fast orders work.
Every single 1.

Just remember, there are so many fairy stories - what do you want to believe?


And just because it says Cabinet X on te checker - it does not always happen that way.

He's posted about a dozen screenshots of his order, of the wholesale checker confirming a cease, photos of the engineers JDSU.

I'm not here to judge anyone, but yes, I believe him.

It does in 99.99% of cases, excluding the occasional database error.

You cannot order G.Fast from 1 PCP and have it delivered from another PCP.
It doesn't have the range to be enabled from the next PCP away.

Just because he has one line connected to a cabinet, does not mean the second will be too. My sister in-law had connections to two cabinets plus an EO at one time. Friends of theirs likewise.

A friend close by here has his residential line to one cabinet and business to a second.

A friend had the same at his old house and one cabinet had FTTC and the other didn't.
Houses to his right up to the end of the street couldn't get FTTC houses to his left to the start of the street could.
What was weirdest was his original line couldn't get FTTC but the second line he got for working from home could.

Thanks

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.

I don't have G.fast, I don't anyone with G.fast, we don't have G.fast in this city as far as I know, so I can only get info from other websites and from people who may know other people that has it.

But that is not normal unless there are cables from both cabinets running up your street.
The cabinet I thought I would be connected is closer than the one I am, only just, but it is closer. but as far as I know no one up this street is connected to it A house that is closer to the cabinet that I am not connected to down the road is connected to the same one as I am. I helped them sort out their computer and broadband a few years ago. They have moved now, so I have not seen them for a while.


Ok, just a quick edit, i just had a look on the BT checker just to be nosey and that house is now on the other cabinet, I don't know how far it goes up the road and according to the checker they can get G.fast, speed about 120Mb/s ish



interesting.

What would have happened if the earth test or the final test failed is a different question. Similarly with your upgrade.

This one the engineer did test the line for earthing. All passed and say perfect before he went back to the cabinet to switch over to Gfast from FTTC.

He did say at first if the earthing test and test all FAILED, Gfast will not go head and the FTTC will remain at old provider.

When you stop telling fairy stories maybe I will. How many false statements have you made?

For example you claimed:

In reply to a post by adslmax:

Next door and mine are connected to Cabinet 8 G.fast.

And then you say you are being connected the following day. And you stated you did not have G.Fast - but in that post you claim to already have it.
