Your modem will only affect your incoming line, which you haven't mentioned your line speed.

What package are you on? The HG612 will work for standard FTTC as it'll do up-to around 80Mbps

Do you have a large box on the wall with Openreach written on it? If you have G.fast then you're in for a painful time trying to get a modem. Post a photo.

Stop guessing and slow down. Can you take a photo of the Openreach kit you have on your wall?

At the very least can you find what you have here anywhere https://www.google.com/search?q=openreach+ont&tbm=isch

But you have the BT Hub already that has been sent to use with the service? Take a picture of the rear of that.

What happens when you put your address in this checker - http://dslchecker.bt.com/? Click 'Address Checker', then Proceed, then enter just your postcode and click Submit, then pick your house from the list.

So you have FTTP, the router you posted will connect directly to the ONT via an Ethernet cable.
