Sadly, despite this being challenged with both the telecoms
regulator (Ofcom) and advertising watchdog (ASA), for some
reason both seem pretty happy with the utter farce that is
advertising BT/OpenReach's VDSL based Fibre To The Cabinet
and Virgin Media's Hybrid Fibre Coax networks as "fibre
optic broadband".

Sadly, it is impossible to say FTTC not "fiber optic broadband",
because it is "broadband" (at least with today's access speed)
with "fiber optic".

We were supposed to be getting FTTP where I live last March,
but for some reason BT silently scrapped that plan and now we
are getting FTTC this March apparently...

Obviously because it makes L1 unbundling difficult.
