I live about 1.1 miles by from the closest FTTC enabled cabinet by road of which the telephone line runs along, I currently have 3mbps download and 0.3mbps ul and I was wondering if it was worth me buying a fibre package and what kind of speed i would expect.

Depends on the quality of your line. Can you post your line stats?
You should be able to get 15-20mb.
TalkTalk 24Mb
Current Line Status
Connection Speed 24272 Kbps 1019 Kbps
Line Attenuation 14.5 dB 5.5 dB
Noise Margin 0.3 dB 11.8 dB

According to that, fibre isn't available to you.

Did you check by telephone number, address or post code?

I checked with phone number
|
|
|
At the top of the check does it say what cabinet you are connected to?
Something like this:
Telephone Number 01670123456 on Exchange ASHINGTON is served by Cabinet 43

Seems to have the right number of digits to me? And incredibly lucky to get the 123456 number in that area code - but even better would have been to be in the 01234 area code with the number 567890 - that truly would be the golden number.
EDIT : Just googled the 01234 567890 number and it seems some people have had that come up on caller ID from spam callers.

I was going by the area code being 01670 and expecting seven digits to follow it.
There is no 0167 area code so I was right in the first respect. However The correct way to write telephone numbers beginning 01670 is in the format 01670 xxxxxx
The local number (the part of the number after the dialling code) is 6 digits long. So you are correct.

I was only going by our local code which is 5 followed by 6. Do I get a prize for my first time being right on here?

No, because to my knowledge you have been right several times. I'm afraid the elapsed time since the first exceeds the limit for claiming of the pink candyfloss prize.

Blast. Must put in my claims sooner.

That would be longer than any UK phone number. They are all either:
02x xxxx xxxx
011x xxx xxxx
01x1 xxx xxxx
01xxx xxxxxx
With a small remnant of six-digit area codes and five-digit local codes.

As I also indicated in my post, but they are in only a small number of areas now.
