In reply to a post by MrSaffron:

Where GEA-FTTP is available (1.6% UK premises) then pricing at wholesale level is identical to GEA-FTTC, install fee is higher at £92+VAT due to engineer attendance.

So as a reason why so few retailing GEA-FTTP it is a non starter

There was a phase a couple of years ago where BT installation seemed to be trying to add ECC's (excess construction charges) onto some FTTP installations, even when the manifold was nearby, but not immediately adjacent. Such as across the road, even though the house already had a phone line. The excess charges were being passed onto the end user.

Then this shifted, and looked like Openreach still made the excess charge, but BT Retail was willing to eat the charge; the end-user saw nothing beyond the £92.

Under these circumstances, I can see why other retail ISPs might not be willing to hide this.

Is this likely still happening?
