Anyway, the fibre only goes from the old switchboard, (OK, exchange) about 300 metres up the A road to the cabinet. They've done nought from the cabinet to Ancient Towers.
FTTC = Fibre to the cabinet
FTTH = Fibre to the home

Therefore FTTC comes before FTTH, if FTTH ever makes it your way in the near future that is !

FTTC is cheap and easy for BT to implement as they stick blown fibre down existing ducts to desired cab locations.

FTTH is where stuff starts getting expensive as you've got to dig and lay new fibre runs and then get wayleave to go across private land and drill into peoples homes etc. etc.
