"only your opinion or is it a fact that technically inclined thinkers would see as being correct?"
What you quoted has nothing to do with technically inclined thinkers or my opinion; it is ambiguity that can be simply remedied with brackets and is not remedied as such because of BT's marketing because it is a fact that 'fibre' and 'copper' named forums are ambiguous considering the nature of FTTC. I would say any properly technically inclined thinkers who know FTTC would find the naming of the forums awkward. Some faults on their line may be on the copper technology side of the FTTC, and the symptoms belonging to copper technology may be unique to the copper technology side of the FTTC. As such, technically, when trying to seek unknown issues on an FTTC package, you can technically be in splits because it is a hybrid connection, so 'Fibre' and 'Copper' are like, "Which section should I try my luck in first?". Posters with certain expertise willing to help with better knowledge in only copper or fibre technology might linger on only one of the subforums, so you never know if certain symptoms are better picked up on and remedied in one of the two subforums. If the 'Fibre' forum was bracketed (FTTC/FTTP), technically inclined thinkers would put this all to bed and would know any expertise regarding the entire FTTC chain would be found in that bracketed labelled forum.
When you say "It would appear", how do you know that there are no technically minded people with doubts in their minds who simply opt for the 'Fibre' forum, most closely titled after their ambigiously named 'Fibre Essential" FTTC package and that they aren't still left thinking "Am I in the right place?". You don't know.
Basic bracketed labels are sure to rest any technically inclined mind with doubts very easily—more easily than the posters waiting or wondering, then the moderator reading (however long that takes to happen), and then the moderator transferring the post. If it landed in the right forum section right away, they may have gotten the best response quicker too.
And for such simple brackets, it reduces the chances of any 'very odd occasion' that a person lands in the wrong section.
The forum labels are ambiguous regarding the nature of FTTC. It isn't an opinion. Most FTTC customers simply go for "fibre" due to it being closely named to their ambiguous FTTC package name of 'Fibre Essential." It suits BT's marketing, and it's obvious the labelled forums can cause the odd FTTC customer to be a bit confused when wanting to seek quick, proper help. The moderators aren't always quick to transfer threads to the right place.
For those simply opting for the 'Fibre' forum that's closely named to their 'Fibre Essential" package, the brackets do not matter, and for any technically inclined customers wanting the best and quickest help, it sorts them out too. The brackets would have been a done thing by BT from the get-go; why not? watertight clarity for all people with such simple brackets, but no, when making the forums, it was like, "Let's keep to the ambiguous, safe marketing lingo'. Hence my feverish attitude towards pointing it out.
