It'll be restricted to city centres, as far as I know.
Watford isn't getting traditional FTTP as we know it.
However you might be able to get "FTTP on demand" when that's launched but there's all sorts of costings and so on to be worked out yet before it becomes commercially available.

Installing FTTP is generally much harder/more expensive for BT than installing FTTC and takes longer.
You would think it would be the other way around, with fttc they have to install another cab, with fttp it's a few pipes to blow fibre down, i know that the last step with orders would take a bit longer to get the fibre hooked up to your house but the basic work looks easier with fttp.
Do you mean IP address? If yes, no it's not as far as I know, as the graph is still going.
It's another aspect of the DLM. It will assign you an IP Profile based on how well the connection is performing.
When you see your level of interleaving increase there's also a chance your IP Profile may have been reduced. It doesn't always happen but there's a distinct possibility.

The "second burst of packet loss" immediately prior to the increase in interleaving is actually the DLM implementing the changes.
There will be a brief loss of connection, indicated by the second spike, as the depth of interleaving is increased and the connection re-established.
If you look at any TBBQM where the level of interleaving changes, recorded as the "step" in the latency, then you'll always see a red spike immediately prior to the change.
For example -
Its actually a lot slower with FTTP, for one they are much more likely to encounter blocked ducts and you need to roll out fibre to each telegraph pole/distribution pole which means you only upgrade a few customers at a time (even without the end work), while you upgrade 100's of people at once with FTTC.
fwiw I think BT also found that the 'end part' for FTTP was also taking upto two days in their trials rather than the few hours they expected..
If they say the area should be active by the end of march can this be expected or will there likely be delays?
How well have FTTP installs gone for most towns?
