The commonest arrangement is "Fibre to the Cabinet" or FTTC. Then it's the existing copper phone line from the cabinet into your house. In your house it's no different to an ordinary phone line except you're getting fibre speed, depending on how far you are from the cabinet.
Much less common is "Fibre to the Premises" or FTTP. This will need a box at your house, supplied by Openreach, to terminate the fibre and split it to phone and internet ports. The box is mains powered and would normally have a backup battery so you can make phone calls if the mains fails. The big bonus of FTTP is guaranteed high speed, basically whatever you're willing to pay for.
