Adsl is a different beast indeed. It's physically limited because the frequency that it uses and the encoding that was possible or practical in the 90's can't carry more than 24. Vdsl is indeed throttled at the edge router into two products, basically the lower frequency components provide the lower speed product and propagate better over longer lines.

I live in the UK and have fttp from BT, there's an optical terminator in my looking room.

Probably errors / transmission or a vlan issue

More accurately, it's down to the regulator being clear that it would not permit a return on the investment to roll it out. The competition is a joke. Virgin Liberty Global managed 100k passed prem for project lightning this year, talk talk and co are talk asked nothing else. How many times will companies like cityfibre have to go bust before investors realize early how hawkish Ofcom has got. Also what will people pay for? When they realize that g.fast will deliver 120 to 330 the glamor of fiber will fade. How many commenters have 50+ and suffer? I've got 330 fttp having moved from 12mbs vdsl, honestly I only notice once a week.
