BT Infinity is VDSL. Using existing phone wiring is exactly what it does.

It is no more "Fibre" than VM's fibre-optic service. In neither case does fibre go beyond the cabinet or into the home.

VM have a shielded coax cable with several gigabits of capacity but that capacity is shared between dozens to hundreds of homes, BT use a copper cable with ~100mbps of capacity to each individual home.

VDSL is a connection type specifically designed for phone lines, using an existing phone line for it isn't ruining anything.

No new cables need to be installed for BT Infinity.

Mind you I have seen properties around here (even 5 floor high ones) with VM cable chucked over the roof and back down to the other side.
