Aquiss rules out using G.fast technology All the latest from Aquiss

Whilst a number of other providers have openly supported the rollout of G.fast as a convenient means to deploy higher speeds to the “few”, UK Internet Provider, Aquiss, believes that such mind-sets are somewhat misguided. Martin Pitt, Managing Director of Aquiss said “A full-fibre approach is now the only logical way forward, putting aside short term solutions for long term benefits”.

Martin continued “Our conclusion on G.fast is that it’s a resource wasteful technology both in deployment costs and that its delivered benefits are far less than originally proclaimed. The focus should now be on full-fibre and complete scaling back of any plans for G.fast in favour of FTTP and FTTH solutions”.
