Why I need a box outside of my house to get 145Mbps

[Chavilan]

Hi guys,

I currently have BT Broadband at 67Mbps, but my contract has finished an I am looking for alternatives, according to BT I should be able to get 145Mbps just installing a box outside of my house with no any installation required inside of the house.

But I don't see how this is possible as inside my house the installation is the old cooper wire telephone. It wouldn't be necessary unless the fibre cable inside the house (surface mounted as a minimum)?

Thanks for your help.
