And that's without taking into account any possible increase or rebalancing of spectrum.
And the last Samknows report showed 100% of customers on 38Mb and 73% of customers on 76Mb were already in the highest group of line speeds for their class of service anyway. Personally every property I've lived at has had attainable FTTC rates of 110Mb or more.

Vectoring requires hardware replacements. Openreach haven't even started trialing vectoring with their ECI hardware, and have trialed FPGA-based and now ASIC-based vectoring on Huawei.
In the case of nodes like this another challenge is presented - multiple DSLAMs require node-based vectoring, as system-based doesn't cut it anymore.
You are pretty fortunate to have lived in areas with low FTTC takeup and been <100m from the DSLAM.
100% of FTTC subscribers on 38Mb services do not receive 38Mb, 73% do not receive 76Mb, what is this 'highest range'?

The average customer has a d-side length of either 450m or 550m, depending whether running on mean or median with median the most representative for obvious reasons, it's what 50% of the customer base are at, or further. At that range 76Mb isn't going to happen unless the line is perfect with zero cross-talk and perhaps even extra-thick copper. At ~400m, as the only connection on the cabinet, with a brand new e-side that had been completely rebuilt by an Openreach boost team 3 months before to try and fix a fault my maximum sync was 98.02Mb. Very few people will have d-sides that good.
On the first day of new connections that dropped 10%.

FTTC connections were less affected by peak-time contention than cable connections. The peak-time download speed on ‘up to’ 38Mbit/s FTTC connections was 32.5Mbit/s, 94% of the average maximum speed and 99% of the 24 hour average, while the peak-time download speed on ‘up to’ 76Mbit/s FTTC connections was 64.0Mbit/s, 96% of the average maximum speed and 99% of the 24 hour average.

This will, if anything, drop as more rural areas come online on FTTC via BDUK. That average was from a panel of 147 urban FTTC lines and 17 rural ones.
