Standard FTTP does not come with a fixed IP address - if the modem is switched off or reset, a new dynamically allocated IP address is set by BT.

Interestingly within the BT Broadband range, only the Business Broadband ADSL products offered an option where with the payment of a premium (I think in the order og £5-10 pm) the line could be allocated a fixed IP address.

I think the only constraint was that you had to have a BT Business Line.

Given that BT are not yet offering FTTP to business customers yet in Forest Hill that point might therefore be moot.

As for availability of FTTC and/or FTTP, that will be dependent entirely on what the physical location of your premises is. It is very unusual for BT to state that a product is available and then to change that status.
