Not really. This year BT is rolling out 40mb, VM already has 50mb across its whole network. Next year BT will still only have 40mb, VM will be deploying 100mb across its whole network.
As you say, BT is being held back by the copper network, which, even with FTTC will not go very far in excess of 60-80mbps tops or so I've been told. Even if BT allowed 80mbps FTTC, VM already have this beat, at 100mbps, and can go much further whereas BT can only go further with FTTP which isn't going to come close to cable's availability anytime soon.
Bragging rights remain with VM.
