One touch switching - Trouble ahead?

How long did it take before the g.fast connection was terminated? When I upgraded to FTTP, the old VDSL line remained active for almost a whole week after FTTP was live.
I've seen a few installs now where the VDSL line was removed entirely during the FTTP install regardless if it had an active service on or not.

This is even when FTTP was ordered as a new provide with no migration, in some cases the VDSL service wasn't even from the same ISP and should not have been removed.

It then triggers an unsolicited cease notification on the old ISP and cancels service eventually.

That could get messy really quick :)
 
I was given the option to remove the copper dropwire at time of order but declined, the chap from Kelly Group said he wouldn't have been able to do it anyway (D-Pole again...).
I did leave the Openreach G.Fast modem in place, just out of curiosity but by the following day the "DSL" light had gone out so disconnected it.
