I know a few people who already have lines capable of 140 when they were installed but have since dropped to 95 because of crosstalk - exactly the sort of situation where vectoring is supposed to restore the full 140. My line with is "average" length for a city does over 110Mbps without crosstalk and 80 with. Again, likely to increase to 150-200 with 30a.
Most people on the 76/80Mbps tariff already get existing speeds - 70% get 70Mbps or more - they don't need any speed enablers. It's the ones on 38/40Mbps and below it's expected to benefit the most.
Additionally Openreach are rumoured to be implementing profile 30a at the same time as vectoring which will double attainable speeds on short lines - up to e.g. 280Mbps without crosstalk in the real world.

Also the days are counting down for these modems, soon self install will be rolled out and then user's will get supplied modem/router combo devices.

That we can agree on.

I know when Virgin upped me to 100Meg (actually 105), I struggled to get more than about 94Mbit using the D-Link with its 100Mbit ports.

As mentioned, new modem/routers will become widespread before the new speeds.
And yes 120 is what I'd expect to be the headline figure for the upgraded current service, with 160/200 being implemented as a new tier. Most people on 76/80 already get 70+ as I've mentioned several times.
