Either increase the rate limit - people have been synching at 80Mbit at 500m from cabinet before the rate limit is applied - or through pair bonding, most people have more than one pair going into their premises and VDSL supports bonding of multiple pairs.
Certainly for those within a reasonable distance of their cabinet 60/15 on a single pair and 120/30 on two is quite feasible.
EDIT: This ignores upcoming technologies such as vectoring, which is to be ready to roll this year, and phantom circuits.
300Mbps has been delivered at 400m using two pairs, 900Mbps at the same distance using four, 100Mbps over a couple of pairs at 1km.
