You mean leased lines. Which may or may not be using fibre. FTTP is a specific product, with minuscule availability anywhere at the moment.

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk | Domains,site and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 59.4/14.4Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

I know exactly what I mean. Fibre from the exchange directly to the business. A lot of businesses on industrial estates will have a pure fibre feed from the exchange, call it whatever you want to call it.

That wasn't in doubt. What I was saying, (correctly) is that you didn't mean FTTP. By using that acronym, the majority of readers would be mislead as to what you meant.

What those businesses have is a damn sight more expensive than FTTP, and could be much faster or much slower than it. The upstream speed almost certainly much faster.

If I say an egg is round, I know what I mean. Most people would dispute the unqualified statement.

Should be symmetric. Most leased lines of 10megabit or faster are now delivered on fibre optic bearers by the telco contracted by the ISP, so you could have a service from Zen delivered using a Virgin Media Business point to point optical fibre.

I think £10k for install and £3k/month running cost would be average for 10megabit symmetric, and given the scarcity of IP addresses they'd probably only give you a /28 or even a /29 and assume you'll NAT everything.
