It's appear that Openreach are now speedy up installing G.fast pod cabinets (pcp) not the fibre cabinets in many area's in UK.

It's rumour that Openreach to launch G.Fast service this autumn from many isp's. Time to tell sooner or later.

I agree with G.Fast would be no benefit to any lines over 500m away.

Hyperoptic and City fibre are there to expand other area but I don't think it won't be in town area or rural area.

FTTPoD will get cheaper once the whole UK got G.Fast & few FTTP because FTTC would be completed roll out. So, Openreach will thinking it time to give residential customers a much cheaper FTTPoD from G.Fast. But, I think it won't happen until G.Fast have completed rolled out as it take approx 8 years to do that.

G.fast deployment are not being delivered everywhere for every cabinets. It's up to Openreach decision to where to put G.Fast in suitable cabinet, not all of it.

I'm right in the heart of a town centre with a shopping centre, supermarket and surrounded by other housing so my hopes are high.

No, this is not the case. Some may get it, some may not get it. It's up to Openreach decision.
