Chorus has spent $1.4 billion on making their xDSL broadband network faster and even more now as they are upgrading their rural Conklins. If your still stuck on ADSL or VDSL, why not spend $195 on a master filter install to make sure you are getting the most out of your connection?
I install - Naked DSL, DSL Master Splitters, VoIP, data cabling and general computer support for home and small business.

You have opened up a can of worms with these questions, the school in question on Lone Kauri Road does have fibre.
The cabinet however is not a broadband cabinet. Depending on the outcome of RBI stage 2 I think it is a safe beat it will be upgraded to support ADSL and VDSL, it would be an easy install for Chorus as the fibre is there and I do question how well any mobile network could cover those hilly areas down there, meaning upgraded copper would be the best option
As far as getting fibre goes, the local cabinet may or may not play a part. It depends on the type of fibre you want and a few other things. You can get an ISP to do an NGA on Application and they can get you a price for the UFB install.
It is likely the pit outside the cabinet where the fibre is can be connected too. Expect the price to be thousands. The cheapest I have seen is about 2k and the most is over 300k (that one needed 5km of new fibre run down some country roads). If you are right by it, I would guess between 5k and 12k. Prob not something you want to hear.
Here is my data on both cabinets, for some reason the Chorus baseband spreadsheet has 2 cabinets for GLB with that ID, most like an error.
The gis.geek.nz website is often wrong about fibre and copper feds to cabinets but a great tool to find cabinets.
I assume you are at Glenbrook Beach, the cabinet there is not fibre fed and there is no fibre near by. Broadband for that area is fed of GLB\AA which is near Brookside Road, I have put a manual prequal in to get a bit more info about if ADSL is orderable or not. Given it is Baseband PCM and not Baseband Copper I suspect not.
I would not use the data from gis.geek.nz for anything other than location.
Generally I find the cabinet and over lay it with the public Chorus map

If it shows the dark brown it means VDSL
KPA and KF cabs are below, most are VDSL
