    G fast is different from FTTP in that it's for a copper line and modulates the digital signal onto a analogue carriers, like ADSL and VDSL. It's designed for very short local loops (under 500m).


    500m is theoretical but not real world. After ~300m you'd be lucky to even get 100mb. Which is why BT won't offer it beyond that distance and very frequently far far less. BT's minimum selling rule is 120mb at present.

    Yes, and the OP has already said that they have FTTP:

    Hence why boliston's suggestion that the OP's service is provisioned via G.fast is wrong.
