On my new VDSL2 connection I have the following stats which clearly show vectoring is enabled.

The serving PCP is shown in the attached photo, and you will note is has a Huawei 288 VDSL cabinet next to it (with the 384HD expansion on the right side of it out of shot), a copper expansion side pod to the right of the the PCP, and an active side pod to the left of the PCP. I believe the active side pod is a VDSL expansion pod, not G.fast, as none of the properties close to the cabinet have G.fast estimates listed on the BT Wholesale checker and the Magenta Systems codelook site remarks "FTTC Available from 31st December 2014, expanded 22nd July 2020" and we know that Openreach have recently started rolling out these side pods with VDSL DSLAMs in them. My question is this, does vectoring work accross two seperate DSLAMs? I was under the impression it didn't, or at least these two DSLAMS would have to be part of two different vectoring groups, or perhaps there is some way of linking them together? Otherwise perhaps a set of lines going in one direction are connected to one DSLAM and the other direction to the other?
