I'm sort of hoping that they don't go for FTTdp + G.FAST. It seems like yet another short-sighted bodge until they finally decide to FTTP on a wide scale.
Most of what OpenReach does it to make it affordable for all users if i went down the path of FTTP for a 1000m/1km line it would cost me £2500 so you need to be realistic on what you want and what you can afford.
Is that FTTP on demand or some sort of leased line? That'll change the numbers - and let's not forget that what BT charges you is not necessarily in line with their costs (the cynic would suggest that FoD won't be cheap because it could take away leased line business).
Besides, if BT did embark on some sort of mass FTTP scheme they'd be able to bring costs down through economies of scale - instead of planning and building just for your premises they'll be able to do loads at once. And as I said - if they've got to run 1 or 2km of fibre to give you G.FAST, why not continue for the extra 10 or 20 metres into the home? Not to mention the lower maintenance costs and reduced hassles from being able to reduce or stop using copper.
I guess the key difference will be how much a G.FAST DSLAM on the pole would cost to install and maintain compared to an equivalent number of FTTP installs
(and as I said, I find it hard to accept the "FTTP is too expensive" argument when BT has been deploying FTTP to a lot of very rural and definitely very unprofitable or low-ROI poles/DPs around here. I wonder how much money BT expect to make on FTTP to a pole that has 1 customer who doesn't actually have it installed or indeed no copper users at all, let alone fibre)
I also know someone with 330/30, but they live in an area that has won the "BT technology lottery" (and isn't a new build estate) where BT decided to do FTTP off their own back, so the prices are very reasonable and of course there's no expensive 3-year contract
