The other major benefit to consider is that FTTP is by definition 1:1 contention whereas ADSL could have a contention ratio of 50:1 thus it could get laggy at peak times.
There'll still be contention on a fibre connection though? Backhaul can't be unlimited? Maybe I don't understand what you mean by the ratios!

Of course there is contention on the backhaul - https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2020/12/why-buying-gigabit-broadband-doesnt-always-deliver-1gbps.html
And although the fundamental technology is more reliable you are still dependent on your ISP. I moved to Sky FTTP last year and their reliability has been poor, 2 multi hour outages in the middle of the working day. A worse record than my previous copper connection.
