My manager's living in the middle of nowhere in rural Scotland and was surprised to get FTTC recently too. New cabs being subsidised in a lot of EO places too.

I'm hoping they may at least disconnect our line from the exchange and terminate it at a fibre cabinet in the centre of the village instead - that will reduce our line length by at least a km, maybe a little more.</offtopic>

Possibly. There's a database somewhere that has detailed per-line information including whether or not a BDUK-subsidized EO line rerouting/conversion is planned. Ignition's quoted information from it before so he may have access. I was lucky enough to have my ~2km line direct to the exchange rerouted to a cab 50m away.
