Even though copper was cheaper (I don't know about these days as the price of metal has shot up and fibre optic may now have come down in price as it's years old now), I still don't understand the logic in not doing the last tiny part of the circuit in fibre too.

Won't the vast majority of the connection be from the headend to the cabinet with fibre and then they appear to have skimped on the last tiny part with copper

This must have an impact on the signal or people wouldn't be bothering to uograde to FTTP!?
