If some thieves pull all the cabling out of the ground, which actually
happened near one of the newly FTTP'd villages in Cambridgeshire,
would OpenReach now replace it with fibre rather than relay copper?
Not that anybody here would appreciate the disruption.

Having spent the day ripping out any leftover equipment that was in
their soon-to-be-refitted newly-purchased building - there were no
wayleaves, covenants, or any other rights for any third parties - the
network manager at a client of ours emerged to find half a dozen
OpenReach vans parked on the road outside.
Even though OpenReach had been served notice by the former owners of the
building, and I believe had written back to confirm there were no live
assets left in there, they had continued to use the comms room as a PCP
for a local village.
Yellow lights flashing everywhere. It was a DR team. OpenReach
certainly do notice.
Kind regards,
