I think actually BT might have messed up by trying a bit too early with residential FTTP. BT trialled FTTP at around the same time as FTTC if I recall correct (in some very limited areas). But I don't think the processes were refined enough to do this residentially at a reasonable cost. I suspect this is part of the reason they moved laterally to commit to an easier to deploy (at the time) FTTC/G.Fast rollout.

Now, there's a fairly streamlined process the altnets are using and BT are now committed to moving to a full fibre network. But, even being the big boys, they're playing catchup to other companies.

In my area (which is not a city or even that close to one), there's almost a divvying up of the area between the various altnets, and they're moving seriously fast. BT? Not a FTTP priority exchange, so don't hold your breath.
