Also seems odd that there is such a difference in price between their G.fast based 'Fibre 150' at £28 and FTTP based 'future fibre 150' at £34.95

BT retail seem to apply the exact same price across the same speed tiers on different technologies ( e.g its the same price for g.fast or FTTP supplied 160/30 and 330/50 speeds )

is there a big difference in price at the openreach end for the circuit?

Yes. Check the Openreach price lists for the respective products.

looking at the price lists:

160/30 FTTP openreach rental - £253.68 Per year( no requirement for PSTN rental )
160/30 G.fast £137.88 Per year, Plus LLU rental for PSTN at £85.38 = £223.26

and not currently in use my many suppliers yet :

160/30 SoG.fast - £223.02 per year ( no PSTN service )

so yeah i see there is a slight difference, and not much profit margin so i can see why they are charging different prices.

Yeah indeed. Chuck the 20% VAT on top of that and it increases the gap.

TalkTalk Business are now selling Openreach based FTTP services. Prices are a bit more than their Residential sibling but they offer better support, static IPs etc.

At present their phone service on FTTP is copper based so not possible to get this if you don't have a copper feed (eg new build) but they're looking to roll out a VOIP service by early next year. So TalkTalk Residential should follow suit.

Remember 'TalkTalk Business' you need to add VAT on those prices.

Hope there support is better than there Business sales as they have not answered my emails about FTTP sent a month ago.

Also remember that Talktalk doesn't give you IPv6.

Yep those prices are ex vat.

At present their full fibre Sales team is separate from their regular sales dept, you’re better off calling them to get a quick answer.

IPv6 is only a must have if you can’t use your connection without it, typically those working in IT. For the majority of users, a static (or multiple) ipv4’s is perfectly adequate.
