So Bt (Openreach) are finally doing Gravesend Exchange with fibre to cabinet this year. Now will the speeds be 40 meg or up to 40 meg depending how far from the cabinet I am?

One thing I'm not sure of is when BT install FTTC, do they remove the copper back to the exchange and carry the voice and data over the fibre in its place?
Next to each cabinet in the borough they install a new one (still green) and link the fibre cabinet to the old cabinet. I got around 3 meg line here, so anything which is at least double that will be great!
If you can order BT Infinity, then I think you will get at least 15Mb. If its lower, then they won't let you order it.
