Multiple companies are, to this day, regularly digging up streets all over London to install 1G+ FTTH, so I'm not sure it had too much to do with the Olympics.

Personally I'm not sure fibre is even all that important anymore. My previous flat had abysmal slow ADSL, and no fibre available, but blisteringly fast 5G that you could get for £30/month with no contract.

It was really untenable. I don't really understand the other replies to my comment, are people upset that houses got demolished? lots of single family homes are gone but there's a lot more mid/high density in the area now. Towers in Stratford that came about from the developments in the area. I was living in Bow in mid-density apartment blocks (4-5 floors, near Devon Road DLR) if that helps give context.
