When BT upgraded and continue to upgrade, all they have to do is pull the old cable out and new cable in, of the civils network they inherited and plug in the new kit either end.

True.
Laying duct in the public highway is MEGA expensive!!! Our company pay out multi millions to our contractors every year just to excavate foot paths and lay ducting. It often costs more than the jointing and terminating of the cables.
