If you have a BT line to your house you could try them, or companies that use BT line.
We have a BT line , unused for years as we had Telewest Cable when they put it in. Its now Virgin. Its fibre to local junction box but copper to our house I think. Its pretty fast 300mb.

We had notification from BT a while ago informing us that the old copper wire phone system was to be replaced. A new box was installed. The old wires and boxes are still in place but redundant. We get about 40mbps here in the countryside, it was 2mbps with the old system.

I watched the engineers fit the cable from the cabinet on the edge of our estate to our living room wall and the cable was all fibrus material, not copper. It broke once and I watched the engineer fit another roll into the machine that pushed it underground to the cabinet. He said if the cable was damaged in anyway they had to use a fresh roll.
So I take it that the line to our living room all isn't copper.
