FTTC is *provided* by BT Openreach. They do the physical infrastructure

can use FTTC (where available) to provide a broadband service for you.

Tangent alert. The local DSLAM cabinet was installed outside our house
a year ago, and since then, there is often an Openreach van there, with
a little man doing things in the cabinet. Daft question perhaps, but
presumably an engineer is not required to make a connection within the
cabinet every time someone switches to FTTC broadband?

Yes.
