FTTP. Yay or Nay?

Does anybody know if there are any plans for Plusnet to supply FTTP packages?
I live out in the sticks and am currently locked into an ADSL contract with Plusnet which gives me approx. 6 Mbps down 1 Mbps up. Not terrible and I know some are far worse off, but with some game updates now coming in at 17GB+ it is a bit frustrating at times. FTTP has become available now which I never thought would happen, yay. I am now in the position where I don't want to pay over £100 to break my contract to find out in a couple of months Plusnet now do FTTP and I could have stayed so any info would be much appreciated.
On a positive note I know a lot of posts on here are for issues but I have been a Plusnet customer for over 10 years, only one issue in all that time which was a cable problem for Openreach to fix.

This topic has been moved from Fibre Broadband to FTTP Trial board.

Hi @PaPow,
As you might have already know, we ran FTTP trials a couples of years ago but we no longer offer it. I am afraid we don't have any information to give regarding the introduction of FTTP packages. I am sorry about this.

Just to confirm - the DSLChecker says "WBC FTTP" available in the left hand column when you run your phone number.

AS PlusNet don't do it, you'll need to move if you want faster speed. While there are some minor players available BT and Zen are the mains ISP's with a service. Sky were supposed to launch this year but that's been put back to next year.
You also have a choice of taking the cancellation fees or waiting until nearer the end of your contract.

It does indeed. Down Upto 1000, Up Upto 220. My neighbour is already enjoying his 300Mbps connection but he was with BT so it was an easy switch.
I have already been in contact with Zen as I need a static IP and BT will not provide this without it being a business package. Shame as I could have covered the cost of cancelling my contract with one of the money back offers BT have been doing. I found Zen were very helpful actually and I would be quite happy to move over to them should I decide to jump ship. I have heard good things about Zen before but have never had to deal with them despite configuring a lot of business networks.
My inner Yorkshireman does not like the idea of paying £130 to get out, so I'll probably sit it out for a bit longer. 🐵

Zen give you a highly rated FitzBox router as part of the package. If memory serves correctly it's wall mountable.

Yes they do. Never used one before but as you say they are highly rated. That said I would be sticking with my Draytek 2862.
