My friends who have FTTH are in rural Derbyshire. In a group of about 5 houses, about a mile from the nearest village. They used to get 2Mb/s ADSL on a good day and there seemed no hope of anything better. Then, rather by surprise, they were promised FTTH and it actually happened.
I've seen fibre joint boxes on poles up remote lanes in the Lake District too. I've seen a self help group bringing fibre to a small village in the wilds of Shropshire.
So yes it's happening even in rural areas, if you're lucky. In the meantime there's a "not spot" just over a mile from me in a London suburb. There are a few streets that seem to have missed out on both FTTC and Virgin cable.
