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.

How do you plan on the FTTH/P getting to the home? See the Milton Keynes rollout for the fun they had there, with pre-existing ducting.
No-one is talking about ripping out the copper and that would be impossible.
Where is the cabinet going in? There have, as yet, been exactly no cases of new cabinets being put anywhere besides directly outside of exchanges. FTTRN has been mooted but not deployed as yet.
If you receive a new cabinet outside the exchange FTTC will give you quite literally nothing as VDSL performs worse at that distance than ADSL.
