@Phil8800 

Glad you're enjoying G.fast and they are excellent stats for G.fast at that distance. 😀

@Phil8800  I legitimately cannot buy The Gfsst product from sky anymore? But I can from other isps such as BT? It just shows my current FTTC package on the order page

@mae-3Thanks. Was upgraded to G.fast 160/30 from FTTC 80/20 as I was on full max speed 75/19 for the last 7 years (no drop in speed) and now activated with G.fast since 25th May 2021 (hopefully it remain reliable and stable at 160/30 for next 5-8 years. As my area no chance of FTTP for next 5-8 years as the engineer told me.

I am on 12 month contract G.fast 160/30 with unchainedisp (supplier by talktalk business including free static ip address, nice features of control panel with sync history and mores. Free installation and free setup fee. Will including free Openreach G.fast Modem (you can't get any stats) but I didn't use it. I use my own Gfast router called Zyxel XMG3927-B50A as it has stats on it.
