That's an understatement, as we don't just have Openreach but CityFibre and several others, particularly around the city centre.
Seeing as this building is near the Crown Court in Sheffield, it is certainly strange to me that it hasn't yet been upgraded to at least FTTC.
Good news anyway. I told my friend to get in touch with Hyperoptic who it turns out have significant interest in deploying their network in the building as they have covered two separate properties next door. My friend has been able to put them in contact with the building owner so negotiations appear to be getting underway.
Regarding the planned availability of FTTC, I'll keep an eye on it with him. Anything is better than ADSL2+ these days, maybe not satellite.
