Clearly it isn't a 'trial' because they aren't going to take the fibre away and revert the connection to an (obsolete) metallic circuit..
You will be paying FTTP pricing going forward from the end of your current contract, because that's the connection you'll have: before then you keep the current monthly cost.
It's the work associated with the physical migration from copper to optical which doesn't have an up-front cost: the broadband service itself requires a subscription
