Well yes, (apart from FTTP-oD) BT Openreach provided FTTP, mostly new 
build housing of course.

My lad has it in a new build flat he moved into a year ago. It's really 
depressing to stand in the road and see about 20 domestic BT hub WiFi 
SSIDs. (At least I've given him a non BT hub, and set an original SSID)

At a consumer level pricing etc, the realistic choice is only BT Retail 
(it's the same price as their FTTC 'Infinity' packages), and no you 
can't get a 'up to 17 Megs 'ADSL' style package, which if you only 
require broadband for light tablet/phone use (like my mother uses for 
instance), is a PITA.

Sky, TalkTalk, and now PlusNet seem to have no burning desire to offer 
FTTP packages (apparently the provision method with BT is very different 
to ADSL/FTTC, so it's a staff training cost vs income thing)
