Actually no.

The FTTC line only runs as far as the cabinet. From there it's dependant on Openreach fibre, then BT equipment at the exchange and finally the BT Wholesale national network. The Be line runs through the same cabinet but that's as far as any shared distance goes. From there it's into Be's equipment and then Be's national network (which when not broken, is a fair deal better than some)

The only thing that is *not* separate is probably the copper wires running from the house to the DP (there's usually at least 2 pairs = 2 lines in each drop cable)
