BT are, after all, a business. I believe you're on the end of miles of pole mounted cable, less than 10 premises. Bit of a struggle for BT to justify building a new cabinet and a huge fibre run to that cabinet along with all the fibre to the exchange and the other very spread our premises served by that exchange needing new fibre and cabinets.
The current cabinets are to handle 230+ connections, not about 6. It's not just about sticking something shiny in the exchange and being done with it unfortunately.

Of course remember this final 3rd has many city areas and also there is a quite a few rural exchanges in the 2/3.
I dont buy that having a small slice of a large pie is always better either, I would expect been the only supplier in the area and having a monopoly has a very large perk in that you can hike the prices very high to offset higher infrastructure costs.
