I do not know the complexities of the FTTN system but what I do know is that the copper from the exchange will still be used at this stage.
I know this as I have been installing cables from the pillars to the Node cabnets for the last 2-3 mths.
The pillars have both the main cable from the exchange which won't be used any longer as well as the distribution cables to the houses that will be used. Based on the sizes of many DAs, there will also be nodes installed away from current pillar locations.
FTTN will not use copper from telephone exchanges.
What exactly do you think the copper from the telephone exchange would be used for?
You may be dragging cables in from pillar to cabinet but that doesn't mean you know what is going on.
