Who told you they were?

The broadband service is terminated to fibre at the cabinet. That's not
the PSTN service which, as I understand it, is simply jumpered on to the
exchange as is already the case. There is no change to the PSTN service.

All that changes is that the cabinet has something like a microfilter on
each line.
