BT's special fiber?

Hello everyone, I'm here to ask for help/suggestions since I couldn't find anything related to it in the forum...

I moved to a new flat in the center of Aberdeen, and asked for adsl through ADSL24. The whole thing failed, and this is because BT states:

"Our records indicate that BT has supplied service to this number using a special fibre. This explains why the checker has returned this marginal result. If you still wish to order then please note the order will be delayed until a site survey has been carried out to see if service can be provided."

What the **** does this means? Why I have a "special" fiber? And, most important, what can I do now?
 
You need to get the fibre removed and replaced with copper in order to get ADSL. Ironic, really, as fibre would do a much better job. Find an ISP, place the order and BT will replace the fibre with copper if it's economically viable.

If you are a light user you can get internet vis three from £15 a month 3gig cap or 7gig for £25 no BT line needed.

thanks guys, but I guess BT will change my line only if I get an 18 months contract with them... unless there's some other internet provider (no adsl) which sells the connection through this fiber?
