As I understand it FTTC is the usual method of receiving internet into a house, usually with it coming in on the overhead lines and landing at the main master phone socket which then splits out for phone and internet (or a splitter is used) So its fibre all the way to the cabinet, and then uses the copper wires into the house.
FTTP is fibre to the cabinet and then fibre to your house (either via a fibre cable coming from the overhead lines or under the ground (depends on the best method to use)
First wanted the above clarified by someone if possible for my understanding and then a couple of the following items

- If its installed by BT, TalkTalk, Sky, Plusnet it will be an OpenReach fibre into the house and thus if i wanted to switch to Virgin they would have to provide their own cable (as they have their own network)
- If i switched to a FTTP provider, does the phone still come through the old copper wire or does it then come through VOIP and a new phone is then required?
