Although this is spun to sound like a breakthough, it's basically a cost reduction measure. G.fast and this new XG.fast are there to avoid the hassle of negotiating with each householder as to how new fibre gets deployed on their property, when it's a lot easier to negotiate with the municipality all in one go.

An important part of engineering is leveraging existing infrastructure to improve service quality. As an example of this it has been technically possible to put fibre into every home for years but apparently not feasible, price-wise. Speed is speed whether it's copper or fibre.
