Yes.

What's available to you depends on where you are located. The ThinkBroadband UK broadband map is a good place to look for information.

A number of companies provide fibre-to-the-home in specific areas: e.g. Cityfibre, Gigaclear, Hyperoptic, and many smaller companies with limited footprints.

Leased lines are available in many areas of the country from networks other than Openreach, although these are relatively expensive business services.

Virgin Media is using FTTP (RFoG) for its newer deployments.

Have you got a more specific requirement?

On the TBB Broadband Map that was link from Candlerb's response. That is about the best source. However, a relatively small number of premises are covered by altnets - Openreach have by far the biggest coverage of FTTP (Virgin have a high speed alternative network but it is not technically FTTP for most connections).

It's not entirely obvious, but if you click on the "Search by postcode" tab, enter your postcode, and carefully read the section "Notes On Connection Options" on the right-hand side, you may see something there.

Otherwise: zoom in on the map to your town, and then just click all the boxes marked FTTP/FTTH/FTTB to see if anything lights up.

Clicking the "Wireless ISP" button will *hide* the wireless ISPs. It works the opposite way to what I expected (which was that clicking FTTP ISPs would show only FTTP ISPs)

Probably be easier if you just tell us where you are. 😎
