Its relevant in that BT will not want to provide ftth to all their customers as it will reduce their profits not only in the investment required but a hit on the leased line business and they will no longer be able to save on bandwidth from customers who have low synch speeds. BTs model works on them providing a high headline speed to few customers so adsl is perfect for this.
This trial does wonders for PR tho and may keep people of their back for the short term.
One thing I have learnt since using BT again the company has the worst treatment of customers in any company I have recently dealt with they simply dont care about the quality of their service and customer support all they care about is their shareholders.

Theoretically you can speeds of 250mbs over copper.
This is just a headline winning exercise by BT after Virgin announced their "achievable to most customers" 50mbs, BT have decided to announce their "achievable to 2 cats and a dog in ebbsfleet" 100mbs.
