To be fair it was a bit early technology-wise and they would have had to rip the entire thing out and start again three times since. We did pretty good out of copper in the end.
The expensive bit of putting in a fibre network is the holes and ducts.
Once you've got that you can replace fibre relatively cheaply. Guess what, BT's labs were well there too. They also invented the tech for blown fibre installation before anyone else.
BT were the world leaders until the Torys thew that away, for who knows why.
IMHO twisted pair copper or coax is nothing more than a slow cludge compared to real fibre.
