Joining Talk Talk G.Fast

Good Afternoon,

In the process of buying a new house, and the location supports G.Fast, so after some shopping around I found Talk Talk offer a 150 Mbps package which suits my needs (I am moving from a similar package with Hyperoptic).

My question is: Will I get a Openreach G.Fast Modem as part of the managed install from TT? I can't seem to get a definitive answer from TT and I wasn't keen on joining their forum again before joining them.

Hopefully someone here can let me know

Hi, yeah you should get new kit as it will be configured for TT, Is it Full Fibre, i.e. fibre optic coming into your property? You can use your own modem/router..but if there is any issues do not expect much help from any provider, the kit providers supply(might not be the best) are supported by the provider.

Depend how far away from the G.fast cabinet and what does BTw checker say in your estimate Range A clean for G.fast?

TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub Spec below:

Tech Spec
Antenna array:

4x4 5GHz and 3x3 2.4GHz
Wi-Fi technology:

2.4GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and MU-MIMO 5GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 a/n/ac)
Network Access Types:

ADSL2+ & VDSL2 (fibre ready) modem

WPA2 / WPA / WEP
Integrated firewall
WPS Enabled
Connectivity:

1 x RJ11 xDSL port
4x gigabit Ethernet LAN port
1x gigabit WAN port
UPnP (with port forwarding and mapping)

The TalkTalk router doesn't have a G.fast modem built in, so you will get an Openreach-provided one.

Errrr…I thought the thread title was G.Fast….😎

The OP question was

“Will I get a Openreach G.Fast Modem as part of the managed install from TT?”

Not what speeds am I likely to receive on G.Fast….🤔

He should change his title to "Obsessed by speed"

if the speed is not much faster than normal FTTC, then it is not really worth paying the extra for g.fast, so for once I can see where ADSLMAX is going.

Thanks for the confirmation. It's G.Fast so on FTTC.

I am very close to the Cabinet and should get up to 330 Mbps!

As you can see it's worth going for G.Fast
