UK's National Audit Office warns full-fibre rollout strategy is leaving rural Britain behind. Again

G.Fast is typically associated with FTTdP (Fibre To The distribution Point).

In an urban area where most cabinets serve customers <500m away then it's done in the cabinet. For rural areas, it implies overhead fibre to pole-mount equipment (about the size of a shoebox) replacing the old copper lines, which gets you within 500m of the premises without actually deploying FTTP fully.
