G Fast


What is G Fast?

G Fast is one of the latest broadband technologies. It is a copper based broadband service. Those who take advantage of G Fast can experience faster speeds that Fibre to the Cabinet (FFTC.)

The current maximum speeds are up to 80MB download, G Fast increases this to up to a potential 350MB download speed. Previously the only way to get faster broadband speeds was to install a Fibre to the Property (FTTP) connection but that isn’t available in all areas, so that is where G Fast comes in.

FTTP requires additional infrastructure whereas G Fast uses existing FTTC infrastructure such as the copper wires but a device is fitted into the fibre cabinet to alter the speed frequencies. The changes increase the speed through the copper cable which results in a more reliable broadband with ultrafast speeds. However, G Fast users are typically located no more than 500 metres from their local BT cabinet because a close range is needed..
