Seems you are pretty close to the cabinet. Is that with the router in the extension you want to use?

I just typed in my phone number, I'm using Plusnet 65/68mb but I'm out of contract and I pay stupid 47£ for my 65mb I just wanna find out if EE router works in the extension socket (I mean gfast)

Downstream sync speed:
72.96 Mbps
 Upstream sync speed:
19.86 Mbps
stats in extension socket

the white Smart Router EE will give you if you sign up is a G-Fast one.

It will work in the same socket as your PN one.

Not sure why you mention 65Mbps, you are getting very close to 73 now. ISP's always quote sync speeds, not speed test speeds.

Then you are actually getting 73/20 Meg connections speeds, pretty close to the top speeds on VDSL.

But that has no implication on what you'll get on a diff technology. G.Fast.

so i could get 150 gfast and use same socket? extension socket and not master socket

so it could be less?

You'll never know what you'll get with G.Fast until you suck it & see. Nobody here can tell you any definite speed you might get.

The dilemma you have is you won't know for sure until you try it.

The good news is you could get 330 on the master socket

And you have options including moving the master socket, or run an ethernet cable to extend a router Lan port.
