BT Infinity in a Closer Cabinet

I have BT infinity but this gives about 15Mbps download 1Mbps upload , not very good really. The reason is I am about 1.5km from the Cabinet providing my FTTC so the attenuation in the copper and increased noise pickup causes the drop in speed. I however noticed some contractor white spray painted symbols on the pavement about 200 metres from my house with the letters A.I.O and a box shape , see my photo below.I think the AIO stands for an All In One Cabinet that BT sometimes install in outlying areas serving a smaller number of subscribers than is typical.
The main BT cable bundle that serves my house is in the duct marked BT in the picture below , so I am wondering/hoping that I will get moved from the far away one to this A.I.O cabinet? This would mean I could get true infinity speeds so I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope that this will happen. Update , got superfast broadband.
