Considering getting full fibre instead of FTC as I have at the

Apart from a few dozen experimental exchanges, the copper stays; for
the moment.

Those "few dozen exchanges" must all be clustered around here then,
'cause the amount of "full fibre" is popping up is constantly
expanding. And that's only the easy stuff to spot, up poles...

In current Openreach installs the fibre overhead cable includes a copper
pair. They also don't as a rule uninstall your existing copper.

That's what I was wondering about. My present line is overhead to the
front of the house from a telegraph pole in the street. Ugly enough
without adding a second line.

Never quite worked out why most streets in this area, built at the same
time, have underground cabling.

Non-Openreach installers may do something different.
