What does you rental address show at this site ( use the address check not phone number )

Look for the part similar to this
Our records show the following FTTP network service information for these premises:-Single Dwelling Unit Residential UG Feed with no anticipated issues.
If your address is overhead or ducted underground then TBH , the change to the property is so minuscule that personally I would just order FTTP and if the landlord noticed (not likely) then it’s easier to get forgiveness than permission, if it’s not a simple replacement of copper for fibre , for example if excavation through the front garden were needed , then perhaps not do that without permission,as that would be obvious , post the DSL checker return so the installation method can be seen .
As far as your contractual obligations, you signed a minimum term deal , and there is the means for BT to continue to provide your service at this new address , BT are being perfectly reasonable, it’s not BT ‘fault’ if you renege on that agreement , so ETC is valid if you don’t take the offer of service , you may feel the options are unacceptable , but the fact is BT didn’t change the status quo, you did by moving address
Your landlord needs to recognise that once FTTP is available, then it’s the default broadband network, the copper pair can’t be used anymore, if an Alternative Network were available the same installation method is necessary, so they would have some change even if they were OK with an Alt Net .
As landlord they would in effect be insisting that their tenants can have no broadband apart from mobile , that makes for an undesirable ‘let’ , it’s in their own interest to get this network installed otherwise getting a tenant will be difficult, unless they make the same assumptions that you have .
