Not sure we should compare a product whose average delivery price is around the £3000-£5000 mark for install and whose cheapest retail offering is over £200/month with a residential service.

Isn't that what they said above? DC power from the fibre cabinets?

From BT's Chief Network Architect:

After our recent trials with early G.FAST equipment we believe that we can run this technology from the cabinet and deliver significant speeds.

They have also gotten DC power from the existing cabinets working fairly recently and will be doing trials accordingly on a few different deployments.
Still, as I said, there are just trials and tons more to do. BT themselves don't know what they're doing yet, hence the pilot.
EDIT: I should mention in conversation with BT staffers that the deployment they are considering is to deliver from very close to the existing FTTC nodes initially and spread out more deeply into the network later on. Coverage will be slow in coming in the beginning.
