Ultrafast - 145mb/s GFAST or Normal FULL fiber

[tuke8]

i don't have fiber here just normal line or i mean that half fiber 65-70 on sky website it shows that i can have 145 for 29.50£, in that case, it should be Gfast, but I have another question will this gfast work over extension socket or it can be only installed into the master main socket? 
i think to get gfast max range is 300meters from that street green box i probably around 150-200meeters

G.fast will only work on the master socket. If the G.fast PoD is less than 200 metres from the premises then you will get the maximum speed for Ultrafast 1 of 150Mbps downstream and 30Mbps upstream for the service Sky provide.

@tuke8 just to add if you get G.Fast an Engineercwill need to fit a special master socket with a built-in filter so extension sockets will no longer get a broadband signal. It maybe possible to get the master socket moved to the location you use but that would be something you would have to arrange with Sky if you order and hope the engineer can do the work which isn't certain as it will depend on the layout and type of wiring.

Currently Sky customers on G.Fast cannot upgrade to full fibre if that service becomes available at some point that will have to change but we hear of people Sky simply cannot move across so they either have to change ISP when out of contract or remain on the older copper based connection.
