Rogers FTTH is something I don't know much about. It's not like what we have at the moment (and what the vast majority of older neighbourhoods have). I'm not sure what that service looks like but I understand that upload speeds are much improved.
Bell is slow to replace copper with fibre, but Rogers is much slower at replacing coax last mile (I'm a little fuzzy on the architecture of cable).
FTTH means you have your own fibre connection, though I don't know the details, compared to Fibre to the Neighbourhood or curb, where the last mile (1.6 Km) is over coax. Both companies are moving to fibre, but it's a big job, so you'll see FTTH in new areas first and then others.
