If the Operator tops out at around 76mbit/s then it's more than likely FTTC. You need to be looking at who ever is offering 150 or higher for an FTTP service.
You also need to ensure that the service is actually available where you live either by looking for the Optical Distribution Units at the top of telephone poles or knowing whether others adjecent to your premises have fibre intalled into their premises. Stuff on poles is easly to install whereas if it comes underground then there's a lot more effort involved.

Going back to your question, I've had FTTP for over three years but Vodaphone dont offer it where I live. SKY, TT, BT, Zen, A&A do possibly others might.
 
I've got 76/20 mbit/s which is quite fast enough for our needs so you need to establish who supplies the speeds that you want  because some of them will only offer up to 150mbit/s even though the fibre network can manage up to 900.

Yes I know what you are saying. I am after a speed like 150mbit/s which BT are offering at the moment for £29.99pm over 24 months contract. I read reviews of customer service from TT, SKY etc and they say get slated. I just want a decent speed for a fair price, simples really.
