The rest, well, so what? The rollout isn't complete yet. I'm sure the 50% of the country without cable services could bemoan the lack of them, quite irrelevant to the quality of the service in the cabled areas.

By the way:

NORWICH EANCC FTTC 2012 Norfolk County

Not forgotten, work in progress!

Just to be clear, we're talking about VDSL FTTC fibre right, not GPON or some other FTTP?
Both FTTC and FTTP. They get an access network agnostic connection to the BT Openreach headend serving each group of exchanges and can take customers from both the FTTC and FTTP access networks if they choose.
