FTTP aka FTTH is the holy grail of broadband services offering 100Mb or even Gigabit speeds. However, the cost of national FTTP has been estimated at a whopping £29 Billion so isn’t going to arrive any time soon (FTTC costs only a fraction of this and represents a more realistic mid term target). BT is talking about a 75:25 split in favour of FTTC by 2015 which seems optimistic and will inevitably focus the better service on high density areas. At the start of 2011 there are a number of pilot projects in operation and a handful of committed rollouts.
The network is a Passive Optical Network (PON) using unpowered 32-way splitters connecting on to 12-way manifolds supporting a group of properties. Initially there are no more than 6 premises connected to a manifold.
