Does the existing phone line stay, or does the new fibre cable include

Why ?. where you live your download speed will do everything you want.
Only houses full of teenagers are likely to benefit from full fibre,
surely ?.

I was quite surprised how my FTC connection (3MB/s wifi, 7MB/s ethernet
download) copes - Netflix super-HD 4k streams without interruption, even over
wifi. Very occasionally, when rewinding say, the resolution drops for a few
seconds.

But obviously, mileages vary, depending on, er, habits ;-)

I gather 5G is set to change all of this for possibly quite a few households,
if and when they sort out the procurement. I know a couple of families that
manage well enough on unlimited 4G and wifi tethering.
