I'd happily pay extra for Sky Fibre. I love my Sky BB's cheap price and unlimited usage, but hate being limited to 7-8Mbps because of my crappy phoneline.

I don't think FTTC would be doable, though, due to living in a rented flat with a ridiculously stupid BT master socket location. The master is in the hall, right by the front door. No way we could have a modem & router there. I don't think we could have the modem there and locate the router in the lounge, either, as running Ethernet from the hall is not practical plus even just having one thing (modem) in the hall wouldn't really work. I've read that some people can get their master moved, but I don't know how that works and I doubt we could have that due to a) renting and b) crappy extension wiring.
