Sadly, despite this being challenged with both the telecoms regulator (Ofcom) and advertising watchdog (ASA), for some reason both seem pretty happy with the utter farce that is advertising BT/OpenReach's VDSL based Fibre To The Cabinet and Virgin Media's Hybrid Fibre Coax networks as "fibre optic broadband".
Sadly, it is impossible to say FTTC not "fiber optic broadband", because it is "broadband" (at least with today's access speed) with "fiber optic".
We were supposed to be getting FTTP where I live last March, but for some reason BT silently scrapped that plan and now we are getting FTTC this March apparently...
Obviously because it makes L1 unbundling difficult. Masataka Ohta
