UnchainedISP G.fast 160/30

On the May 25th 2021, just switched over to UnchainedISP for my G.fast service 160/30 with line only (no outbound call except emergency only on 999) from Plusnet VDSL2 80/20 since 2014.

Connected to Openreach Gfast Modem (ZT Link MT992) with TP Link VR2600 Wireless Router.

Engineer test the line for earth test and voice incoming calls test and outbound emergency call - he didn't dial 999 and all passed ok.

Engineer went to the cabinet to changeover from old provider plusnet FTTC to new provider unchainedisp GFAST.

Engineer connect his test kit to the test socket and was reading 159.88 Meg downstream rate 29.66 Meg upsteam rate with max rate on the line is 210 Meg down and 29 Meg up (no chance of 330/50) good job I choose 160/30

Today the isp give me full control on my account with useful control broadband portal with all information on it eg: TalkTalkBusiness upcoming and past maintenance work, Sync Rate Profile current and past, Session History current and past, real time firebrick latency & throughput statistics, Line speed limited (full control of the line speed from 0% to 100%), Carrier Notifications, Request IPs, Reverse DNS, PPP Password, billing portal, customer service, my profile and router settings. Coming soon more feature to be added: Line Test, GEA Test.

UnchainedISP have two products are:

G fast 160/30 at £49.99 12 month contract with backhaul TalkTalkBusiness with Static IP Address (free installation & setup fee) supplied with Openreach Gfast Modem (customer must have their own Router)

G fast 330/50 at £56.99 12 month contract with backhaul TalkTalkBusiness with Static IP Address (free installation & setup fee) supplied with Openreach Gfast Modem (customer must have their own Router)

Can do BTw backhaul as a option request to the ISP as it might charged extra but all Gfast products come at the standard backhaul TalkTalkBusiness by default!
