Abstract: The method for operating a distribution point unit comprising a selection switch (17) and a monitor and control logic (15) for providing a first and a second service, comprises the steps of: receiving a switching signal powering the monitor and control logic (68), and switching the selection switch from the first service to the second service by the monitor and control logic (70), after receiving the switching signal. The selection switch has a default state, in which the first service is provided. The first service is in particular an xDSL and/or a PSTN service, and the second service is a G.fast service.
