[AusNOG] DSL G.Fast Details

[Skeeve Stevens]

Hi all,

BT (UK) have started deploying DSL G.FAST with a stated speed of up to
500mb.

They have extended their VDSL2 Vectoring trial to 100 DSLAMs (
http://www.telecompaper.com/news/bt-openreach-extends-vdsl-2-vectoring-tests-to-100-dslams--1062638
)

I found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.fast and the performance of
the technology is quite interesting... especially inside buildings.

Is anyone deploying this in Australia... and indeed, is this what NBNCo is
planning to extend FTTN with?  The Wiki refer to deployments using this as
FTTdp (distribution point)

Does anyone know what the average distance from a NBNCo Node to the
premises will be?

The Wiki doesn't give much detail what happens after 250m

I like how they say that the node is the size of a large shoebox and is
often mounted on a pole.  That would be less than the size of most Bigpond
Cable things on poles already in place.

Just interesting to know more.
