I also made some enquiries into FTTPoD last year after the "price cuts" but after reading accounts online quickly realised its not a realistic proposition, it does not scale well with multiple VDSL lines either imho. Instead I got two phone lines on FTTC so I get around 130 Mb down and 40 Mb up for around £80/month.
If the install costs came down to less than a grand and the rental was less than £80/month then maybe, plus the information on
Openreach website seems weirdly unrelated to reality and is super-misleading - clearly not intended for Joe Normal like me. Some of the actual install quotes I have seen online that people have received are huge, £10k plus but the actual install costs are much often lower.
I think the ISP's and suppliers are deliberately holding us back because they are making lots of money selling us an inferior service, I think having domestic customers bandwidth constrained by their phone lines suits the industry as it takes all the pressure off their infrastructure
