That's not really how the FTTP rollout works: typically each householder needs to place an order for a new (and usually faster) broadband service and then the ISP books the necessary work from Openreach (not 'BT' in this context). There's some proactive switching (where the ISP contacts existing users) but this is still relatively rare.
