Basically, why is there such a big difference in average speeds between FTTC cabinets and the average / minimum FTTC speeds received by customers?
If you look at the table below, it suggests the average / minimum speeds are between 58-64mbps (for BT), for the higher tier FTTC products:
What I find odd about this is, how are the speeds reported above possible when the mean / median speeds of BT FTTC cabinets was measured to be between 27-32mbps in 2016?

The technology in cabinets has remained much the same during this time, as far as I'm aware. If anything, shouldn't speeds reduce a little over time, as more customers subscribe to FTTC (increasing crosstalk/interference)?
Or, am I missing something?
EDIT - Maybe the cabinet average speed figures include some lines capped to 40mbps?
