From one extreme to the other! Having had a quick scan of that, it looks
like the proposal is to lay fibre to get DSLAMs closer to the end users,
to get ADSL2/2+ and VDSL2 working. Fibre may be taken all the way to the
premises in some cases.

I think that is in the end the way things will go.
Rather like cable is done: Fibre under the roads, and *active* boxes in
the street,with the last few hundred yards by copper, if that.
Ultimately it will be faster, more reliable and cheaper.
But its a huge capital investment up front.

With the price of copper ever-rising, it might be cost effective, given
the salvage of the old cables...
