No my plug/wall socket looks like that with 1 Ethernet socket in most rooms of my flat, where the Ethernet port goes from that to my router with Adapter for phone line if needs be, so will that not work for ultrafast fibre? How do I get that installed into my flat? Think I have FTTP as get speeds up to 30MBPS-60MBPS but not sure tho

Without taking the faceplate off, I cannot be 100% sure but that looks like a standard telephone extension socket. If so, it will be copper wired. It is unlikely that you have FTTP: with those speeds, it is more likely to be FTTC.

Part of the FTTP ordering process is that Openreach will survey your property to decide how best to get full fibre to your property.

That said, all the above is academic unless your Landlord agrees to an FTTP installation for the whole block.

Thank you mate I think the Management company will accept it at some point but city Fibre is doing the cables in my area not openreach my Ethernet port looks like this so not sure what it is that I am getting

Thats a BT phone jack, its not RJ45

Last photo shows ADSL style filter attached to a "telephone" socket NOT an ethernet port ,so you have ADSL or FTTC. As already stated ,you will need a totally new installation for full fibre which will require the cooperation of the building freeholders.
This has proved problematic in a block of apartments local to my home as Cityfibre have refused to retrofit their cables.

Thanks for that will have to contact them

CityFibre is an ALT Net. Access to CityFibre doesn’t mean that OpenReach will now route around your area. I have both OpenReach and FreedomFibre fibre optic cables in the underground cavity in the pavement in front of my property. The process of getting FTTP into your home is identical whether you use CityFibre or OpenReach. Your problem is that it would seem you need Management permission and action to get the fibre connection into your building.

Yeah I guessed that & once the wayleaver has been agreed the management company get the infrastructure sorted then will contact flat owners/tenants a date to get them connected inside the flats etc, hopefully soon

Update! 

All the houses in my area have FTTP via city Fibre/Openreach, flats don’t

My management agent has agreed for both to install FTTP into the flats! 

Openreach have said they will put our block of flats into there reactive build que!

city fibre have said they will do a survey in the new year!  Jan/February time

looks promising
