BT on FTTC

"The vast majority [of FTTC homes] get between 33 and 38Mbits/sec.
There's no point in going back and investing, just because it's
something called P instead of C. We've seen 60 to 70Mbits/sec in the
labs on FTTC. Is it future proofed? Yes."

If I was a shareholder I would be demanding this buffoon was replaced ASAP.

Why? Shareholders are probably relieved that BT aren't planning to spend
vast amounts of money on laying fibre to peoples houses who are unlikely to
pay more than £50 a month for it.
