Others have given the technical differences.

The practical differences are that FTTP is normally fibre provided by openreach. Openreach being the dominant heavily regulated monopoly. They provide the link, and ISPs resell over the top.

FTTH is normally fibre provided by the same company as the ISP, and so has a much smaller area of coverage.

No: FTTP and FTTH are the same thing. It’s just that in the case of FTTH the Premises in FTT”P” is a Home. It’s a colloquial difference and doesn’t represent any difference in technology or provision.

Perhaps I should have been clearer, FTTP is what openreach calls running a fibre to your house, FTTH is what most over companies call it.
