Not everybody....
FTTC reached my area a year ago. I looked at the cost, then looked at the performance I was actually getting on basic adsl.
With just a couple of people in the house, no gamers, no Netflix or suchlike, and ads blocked, we find the result quite adequate. It seems that that is a common attitude here (I can't speak for anywhere else), and the take up has been poor.
If the cost margin reduces I will reconsider, but FTTP has no chance.
Perhaps this is why it's uneconomic?
