Umm .. Virgin Media?.. FTTC since they started. Co-ax to the home..

who have a monopoly in the areas they serve - not many people know that.

Not in the accepted sense of "monopoly".
In my street, VM serve some houses, BT serve some houses via copper wire
(and at least one house uses that copper wire for Sky broadband) and BT
have a fibre cabinet along the road which serves FTTC to at least one house.

I call that a free choice not a monopoly.
