Openreach installing FTTC when FTTP is available

[gazmix_1973]

Hi

I've not gotten round to updating my copper broadband for family health reasons but had Openreach email saying they coming round to update digital phone & putting me on core 67 which is FTTC even though full fibre is on my street. I will receive my smart hub plus & phone adaptor shortly.  

They say i have a fortnight to change mind, not sure what that means as won't be going back to copper but just wondered if FTTC will still work ok after the switch off in January?  I guess they wouldn't be doing it if it didn't. i Should've just ordered FTTP but as said i haven't . I guess i'll get this done & upgrade after.. I didn't think if FF was available on my street they would do FTTC. 

Thanks

As I warned in my second post, back on page 3.

The problem will be the same with FTTC, as it is down to the cable you are using.  If you insist on running a line all the way upstairs, bite the bullet, put full fibre in and use a cat 5e ethernet cable.  You won't see any loss with that.

@XRaySpeX  Thanks for that but why not just number the posts, as they do on the BT forum?  It would be a lot easier.
