Reply to comment by [deleted] in FCC orders ISPs to show broadband 'nutrition labels' with all fees and limits by Sorin61

FTTH is not FTTP, at least here. FTTP bundles, FTTB and FTTH PON/AON split in basement (which are not considered FTTH here).
But it seem to differ by region/country and even ISP.
Since about ~2 years now all the new deployments in my region are true P2P FTTH connection, with neither active nor passive splitting in buildings/premises...

One could also say FTTH is is a specific FTTP subset.... at least in our case here.

That's because there is no formal definition of when to use FTTH vs FTTP, just rough guidelines.

for most purposes they're equivalent. when getting into the details of a multi tenant residence vs a home we're getting into details that only matter to use networking nerds

For example all the FTTP apartment buildings i've lived in before I got my FTTH house had fiber all the way to the individual unit. There was no termination at the building split out to ethernet like some do, but my state also has a law against internet vendor lock in on apartments IIRC
