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

Yes, and what is wrong with that? The fibre to the cab looks like fibre
and quacks like fibre, so what are you complaining about.

FTTC gets you 80 if you're lucky, and more likely a lot less if you
aren't next to the cabinet.

Retail fibre gives you 330 if you want to pay for it (GPON). And it
doesn't matter how far the cabinet is.

That's a pretty muffled quack.
