Has anyone raised funds to upgrade a cabinet for fibre?

We've been told by Openreach that, despite living in a busy, residential area, our cabinet will not be upgraded to support fibre broadband.
We're currently stuck on around 2mb download and .5mb upload.
One option they've given us is to raise the funds ourselves. I fully understand that Openreach is a business and that cabinet upgrades need to be financially viable.
Has anyone any experience of this? Any ideas of the cost involved? We're waiting to hear back from them but they're not quick.
