BT asserts my street cabinet is enabled for FTTC... PlusNet Computer says No

[#1]

This is because the VDSL equipment located in the fibre box would interfere electronically with the existing ADSL2 equipment in the exchange due to their close proximity.
So a fibre box/equipment cannot be located in the immediate vicinity of an exchange.
So those lines which go back direct to the exchange (EO lines) and not via a PCP street cabinet cannot have FTTC.
Around 11% of BT lines are EO lines.
There is no technical solution to this one at present............well there are two obvious ones if price/cost was not a factor and money grew on trees.
1. Move everyone compulsorily on the exchange off ADSL/ADSL2+ and on to VDSL -so there would be no ADSL equipment in the exchange to be interfered with.
2 Put in FTTP direct to those houses for those on EO lines.

I'd not have thought so. FTTP will require pulling fibre from the exchange to the premesis.

Actually, FTTP will go the CABs first and then go fibre from there.

Cheers for the clarification Gb.

Yes, I didn't elaborate but my thinking was that the duct to the cabinet won't actually be straight and a "pulling procedure" that put FO in to replace the copper,  might be used to premises. Of course there would be big "depends", biggest probably being - 'sure we can,  at £xx per metre plus x blokes at £xx per hr'
