How to get Openrach to install fibre from the street to my house

I live in a new build house and since the development was so small (4 houses) the developer never got openreach to install any cables (fibre or copper) as they only really deal with developments of 19 properties or more, or so I’m told. We have 5g WiFi now which does the job, but we would like to upgrade to something more stable.

Been in the house for two years, and had sky and talk talk both start charging me for FTTC broadband despite not having any connection into the house. Even after I told them I don’t have a master socket, just a draw string.

I have no interest in FTTC anyway but this is all I’m offered despite full fibre being available in the area, including my neighbours who tried to explain how they got it but I don’t think even they really knew how they managed it and I feel like it’s a bit late to go ask them now.
