It isn't though.

FTTPoD uses a dedicated fibre link with SyncE capability (not sure if they'll be making use of it anytime soon) Prebuilt FTTP uses GPON split fibres shared with many other users, with protocol similarities to that of DOCSIS cable. The latter being a contended, shared service, and the former is not.

You're talking about as big a difference as a leased line vs. Virgin Media cable.
