What is this product marketed as, is this BT Infinity ?

Normally "fibre optic broadband" or along those lines.

BT Infinity is BT Retail's name for the service when they provide it.


The whole marketing thing is a farce though, as it's not true fibre optic but rather Fibre-to-the-Cabinet. How the ASA see this as valid is beyond me. I can see issues in the near future where true fibre optic (to the home) providers will need to differentiate their product.

Virgin had no problem calling their broadband 'fibre optic' when it's a fibre and copper hybrid so it would be a little odd for the ASA to have a problem with any other company using the same description for their fibre/copper hybrid system
