Drive over there with a 4G-capable phone in your hand and do a speed test?
A modern iPhone can do that, just type speed test into Safari, Google will do it for you....
I get 18mbps via WiFi on my broadband here doing that and oddly a very similar result via 4G.

I just did a different calculation by working out the road mileage from the exchange to the property, which is over 2.5 miles, about 4.2km.
If the phone line runs directly there (unlikely) again it gives a top speed of about 3mbps on wet-string broadband.
