TalkTalk have said they want to roll out in other CityFibre cities if York goes well.
That Aberdeen is a CityFibre city puts it along with the other 3 that aren't York in a very short list.

You can certainly dare say but absolutely no chance of that being a home connection by 2025.
May see some people selling 10Gb as part of a urinating contest but definitely not 1Tb. There's no prospect of seeing core network links running at 1Tb any time soon, it's not under real development yet.
Core network links are still at 100Gb/s, with 400Gb/s a work in progress. It would take core network links at 10Tb/s+ to make 1Tb access connections feasible.
To say how difficult that would be we are still at 100Gb and 10Gb Ethernet has only been around since 2002, with 10Gb/s transmission links, so just the 'raw' capacity of the optic link, around for a little while before that.
To say how far 10Gb to the home is away the cheapest 10Gb
switch I can find that doesn't need expensive pluggables is over £600. The cheapest router that can do 10Gb line rate... somewhat more
