Putting the address into the BT Wholesale Availability Checker should indicate what the options are.

https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL/AddressHome

It's the table and the two text lines below it which are most useful.

Remove any personal information (such as the address itself) if you post an image.

@TimmyBGood

I had my first post removed possibly due to the btwholesale link. I can't imagine it would have been for the hub stats link

26Mbs delivered to a router would now be considerably below the national average broadband speed, but entirely plausible over FTTC at an individual address around 1100 metres from the local fibre cabinet because that's largely based on inherent natural characteristics of high frequency signalling over copper cable.
