Can I ask who will pay for this wondrous FTTP network you are suggesting?

Also why on earth would you want 4-6 redundant fibres at each property?

FTTP will come with time its inevitable but people want faster speeds now and not everyone lives close to an exchange. It makes sense (from both a financial and time sense) to use the copper network in the mean time and utilise it to its fullest. Especially as very few people actually need FTTP speeds and definitely wouldn't be willing to pay for it.
