BT may be sticking their hand in their pocket to roll out FTTH/FTTC?
Whatever next!

As BT want a "return on their investment", I assume that they're not wanting to open it up to other providers and you'll need to go to BT to get the faster speeds. From the BBC article:
Quote However, the communications group has made clear it will only make the move if regulator Ofcom allows it to get a decent return on that investment.

Quote A key point made by BT is that these fibre based products will be available at a wholesale level, which will increase the pressure on Virgin Media to provide a similar service.
So it looks as though it'll be open to all providers!

Any network is only as good as its weakest link - BTs weak link is the copper from the exchange to our homes via the 'green boxes'. If they can remove a large part of that weakness and leave folks with lines only a few hundred metres long, the result will have to be good.
Capacity will still be a potential problem, but even if we assumed we'd all get the same speed we do now, latency would still be reduced giving a superior service. Increasing speed and decreasing latency would be a a real boon.
One aspect not mentioned yet though is the LLU aspect; if BT were to start putting their equipment into the cabinets to enable the use of fibre, would they have to allow other operators to do likewise?
