I did wonder, and as others have confirmed you should be able to get some form of Fibre.

Out of interest does Hyperoptic serve the building?

Currently on Hyperoptic 100Mbps ...

Previously on NOW TV Broadband up to 38 Mbps, then BT Broadband up to 80Mbps, then Pluse8 Broadband up to 80 Mbps

No, it's a housing estate of 96 houses built by countryside back in 2016

After looking around it looks like the speeds in your area from the FTTC cab have dropped with the amount of crosstalk. This has led to your area being removed from the OR checker for FTTC, likely ADSL speeds are actually better !.

You must have been a long way from the Cab to only get 25Mb back in 2016.

Not knowing your postcode I couldn't identify further detail.

The OR Checker suggests that they are working on planning FTTP around the area. I suggest you input your postcode and see what the result is and start to check this monthly. You can even fill in the contact form to register your interest in FTTP.

Cabinet P38 is somewhere in postcode M7 1PA, according to Codelook. Trying addresses in this postcode (Meadow Road) I get only "Your address has been successfully matched; however we cannot determine ADSL availability at this address."

So I tried a property in a directly adjacent postcode (M7 1RF, 1 Clover Drive) and got a result with no FTTC availability shown.

Whilst it's possible the copper takes an extremely circuitous route, to get down to even 25M it would have to be over 1km.

Looking from outside, it seems database breakage is more likely explanation than crosstalk.

Thanks for confirming, it's why I eventually ended up getting 5G as the FTTC was rubbish

We're a new build surrounded by a river and local authority which is served by VM, unfortunately the developer lied to us and said we'd be covered and VM said our estate wasn't financially viable. I did enquiry about FTToD but when the survey was done the cost doubled from £15k to £29k and interest wavered. As the exchange hasn't got it's ROI Openreach wanted to add that cost on..we kindly declined

Do a Community Fibre Partnership thing and see if that kicks anybody at Openreach - if it's a new build estate then it's all ducted and there's no reason to think it won't get FTTP in the next few years.

I did that, they hiked up the price to £29k from £15k between 96 houses, no chance, Getting £300 per houses was tough 2 years ago never mind now!

Wow different strokes for different folks eh! Some people would kill to get FTTP for a £300 outlay!
