We have a BT Smart Hub 2 for our router and our speeds our around 28 or so Mbps. What would be the best way to increase that speed, would it be to buy a better router or get full fibre, I am not sure and would love some help.

In the uk the traditional broadband has been fibre to the cabinet, vdsl. With a max speed of approx 80mbps if you are close to the cabinet, dropping as you get further away.
You are likely getting the best speed vdsl can provide at the property.
Alternatives would be checking if full fibre is now available at the property. This would be the preferred option. Typically upto 1gbps
Virgin media cable is available in major cities and might be an option. Typically upto 1gbps.
You are unlikely to be in a gfast area which offered vdsl upto 300mbps and you needed to be close to the cabinet.
Otherwise an unlimited 5g plan if the property is in a good coverage area.
All will likely cost similar to the overpriced bt vdsl plan.
