Fibre to the property (FTTP) - rough estimate please

[Filton-flyer]

Hi All.
My current broadband supplier (rhymes with Merging) is a bit rubbish so I'm thinking of ditching them and starting a new contract.
Is anybody currently supplying FTTP as opposed to just FTTC?
I guess BT is the main player but I'm thinking of FTTP which would make things "future proof" in terms of a growing family and increasing demands.
I live in central Bristol so I'm guessing I'd be well suited to this type of install as there must be a decent infrastructure already in the locality?

What are your thoughts please?
TIA

Well first and foremost have you checked whether FTTP is actually available to your house?

Other options may be available such as Hyperoptic (mostly flats): https://www.hyperoptic.com/map/

Ok, good point........

On checking the website I get this answer, which to me looks like a fluffy, roundbout way of saying no!

Why can't they just tell the truth instead of letting me down gently!

BT and Zen can provide. BT do the install. Ours was £13k fitted by BT and is about £70ish a month again with BT

It says accepting orders.

Now try BT, PlusNet for a package. BT even give a line speed estimate.

Im not sure which fibre spec we ended up with in work but we got a fibre direct to premises from BT for £70 per month for a 300mb connection in rural N. Ireland. I'm nearly sure there was no connection fee and it's not linked to a phone line as they cocked that up too.

We were only getting 1/2mb on a normal connection before such was our distance from the exchange and it regularly broke down during winter at least once or twice a season.

BT had been going round the area fitting the telegraph poles with these little green boxes whatever they are but they do the trick
