Because the BT "fibre" he has been sold is not really fibre in the

Yes, and what is wrong with that?


Its a lot slower than FTTP can do.


LOL. I think the top for a single monomode is around 100Gbps.

FTTP aint nowhere near that.



The fibre to the cab looks like fibre
and quacks like fibre, so what are you complaining about.
