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

copper for the last few hundred metres...

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.

Sure, but its a lot better than VDSL2 can do.

Some places like Singapore you have have 2 1Gb
services if you want that. Not expensive either.

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