At what point does the optical fibre (fibre optical) stop?

I was talking to an acquaintance the other night who is ex BT (early retirement) and he reckoned it would run to the BT cabinet on the road and then use existing copper wiring into your house / flat / whatever. It's hardly going to be a profitable programme if they have to re-wire the premises as well?  rubschin:

That's right - FTC (fibre to cabinet).
Virgin have fibre running along the road and then run what looks like co-axial to the house.

 :thumbsup:    The cabinet's only 100m down the road, max. So Infinity could be an option come April 1.

Warning message from BT
"We will be upgrading your local exchange.
Start of upgrade is planned for 18.00 hrs on Thursday when you can expect the exchange to be down for a short while. Once we have restored service you may experience difficulties for a few days as the work progresses.
Please try to use your broadband throughout the upgrade as this will aid the new equipment to self-adjust"

 Banghead Banghead Banghead

First they said March 31st 2012  -  never happened  ::)
Then they said December 31st 2012  -  that never happened either  ::) . According to the site:
http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/where-and-when/
they're accepting orders... but still no date. It's taking longer than they thought, allegedly  ::)
