That's the wonders of this massive upgrade of the infrastructure, if you're fed from a cabinet in the next village FTTC is worthless to you.
If you're fed directly from the exchange and it's close you may get a cabinet deployed just outside the exchange.
You may even receive FTTP - as densely packed villages and urban areas should have from the start if BT weren't more interested in spending money on football rights than their network. Anything you get will be largely funded by the tax payer, naturally.[COLOR="Silver"]

The line I was describing wasn't supplied from a cabinet in the next village, its a direct exchange line running two miles overhead. The local BDUK/Superfast Cymru rollout is seeing brand new ducting and new cabinets going in, many in areas where there are no cabinets at present.
FTTH is of course the best technology available, but your not going to be able to rip out 40+ years worth of copper infrastructure overnight. As you mention FTTC work is clearing old ducting and installing new one, so that fibre that would be running your FTTH could easily run through it.
