in the UK it is typically fibre to the box on the street, and then copper from that to the house. providers would love you to subscribe to fibre to the house (so they can charge you exorbitant prices for it), but really YAGNI for most people at least in my experience.
- sgt101 2y agoThat used to be the case - but it's rapidly becoming standard to be directly connected to fibre. I believe that something like 60% of UK premises have a fibre connection available and I expect that all the providers will push folks off copper as fast as they can. Because copper is a pain in the arse compared to fibre (for the provider). For the consumer copper has one key positive that fibre just doesn't - it works in a power cut.
