Not aware of the exact wording but if memory serves me right, it did not preclude the possibility of an exchange area being a mixture of the technologies, e.g. the cabs one side of the river being FTTC, but the other part of town being FTTP.
Where I believe no mixing at all is expected is that users on a cabinet will not see a mix of options.
What about E/O lines? These will NEVER get FTTC, yet there has been no mention of this.

Generally they are already getting ADSL2+ at decent speeds, but in time they might see FTTP
Current roll-out is about passing as many homes as possible using a simple template, the infill and other things will come later once the basic model has been proven to sell.

Uh uh!
FTTH does not have a separate non-fibre (ie copper) line for the phone. I believe the FTTH NTE incorporates a UPS just as an FTTC cabinet does.

Hows the phone work then?

Hows the phone work then? I suppose that if the brains at BT are really stumped, they could always ask the VOIP operators for a hint.

Ask your colleagues who work on Ebbsfleet, that's never had copper it uses a 135kbps VoIP channel on the NTE.

There is an ATA in the FTTP NTE (Analogue temination adaptor) you get an ordinary phone socket and an ethernet socket. Have to buy 2 GEA from Openreach. One for BB at 40, 100Mb or even 1g if you want to pay, One at 135Kb for the voice. Spec is on the Openreach site. Voice goes through the IP layer to a VOIP call control and would be on a seperate QOS enabled VLAN, small packet size, low latency, low loss, guaranteed B/W across the access and backhaul.
There is battery backup as well. Ask a Bradwell Abbey trialist for a picture!
I bet the feature set for the voice is different as some services are hard to do in the VOIP world, different ones may be far easier.
Otherwise you use voice over the BB and take your chance on contention with your own and others downloads. (Kids upstairs etc!)
