Nope. In Germany, M-net (Munich) and NetCologne operate massive g.fast networks, and if you don't want Huawei, go for Adtran's 516 lineup on the ISP side and AVM on the CPE side.

Zyxel and Fast Networks are also good on the ISP side (Not sure Fast Networks is still a thing - website seems to be down - but I run one of their DSLAMs and am happy with it)

When I still lived in Munich, I had M-Net since pretty much their inception. ADSL first, later fiber. It was always great, and on the very few occasions that I had problems, I usually directly got a technician on the line who knew exactly what they were doing, instead of a few layers of help desk peoples fielding calls.

My friends in Munich or the Ruhr region don't seem to know of any "massive" G.fast availability... which in any way is very late to the party. But I stand corrected.

I didn't know about network equipment from other manufacturers, not sure why we're stuck with Huawei here, but it's a dead end. The plan is to migrate as many G.fast subscribers as possible to FTTH in the next 5 years, and eventually to mmWave 5G in a few corner cases.
