Broadband issues

So my current ISP is BT where I get 
Part Fibre 
Up to 75MBPS speeds (Normally get 30-40)
BT TV
TNT Sports (HD)
Sky Sports (HD)
Netflix (4K) 

my price was £99 a month then £112 now gone up to over £140 as contract run out too expensive want to reduce it! 

the issues is I have been trying for the last 2 years to get FTTP full Fibre install in my flat via Openreach/City Fibre (live in a block of flats)

The freeholder has told me I need to fill out the Openreach/City Fibre Wayleaver forms online with their details which I did last night!

So what’s the likely hood they will accept FTTP from Openreach/City Fibre & the likely timeframes will it be 1-2 years or allot of quicker to get connected!

Will I be able to keep the same package with BT but reduce my bill onto a rolling contract? Or any providers out there that offer rolling contracts for broadband? As I refuse to sign up to another 24 months FTTC Contract when I know FTTP is coming

    That monthly cost is outrageous, I've just come out of contract so have lost a discount and have been adjusted for the April price rise - my cost for Fibre 1 FTTC + BT TV + TNT Sport in HD is £66/month.

    Sky Sports + Netflix would take it up to £100ish.

    That’s is outrageous but I was hoping FTTP would of
    been installed by now so could reduce my price to under £100 I can’t give up sky sports F1

    so looking at Rolling contract for broadband till FTTP is available then tv else where

    Update 

    Wayleaver has been agreed with City Fibre
