"just roll-out FTTP and "
...go bust
If you replace the copper network you need tens of billions of pounds to do the full rollout. If you don't replace the copper network you now have the cost of supporting two separate last mile networks.
Meanwhile, prices for broadband services continue to drop - so the return you get for all that spending might be absolutely nothing. If there was a compelling case, wouldn't other companies be doing this all over the country? They'd have the extra advantage of not having to continue to run a copper network so it ought to be more profitable.
